KOMPAS.com – In addition to having a delicious taste, coffee also contains millions of benefits.

A recent finding concluded that drinking coffee regularly can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's later in life.

Research conducted by researchers from Institute of the brain, Canada, found that coffee consumption has beneficial effects on health.

There is a compound in the coffee called phenylind and appears during the process roasting.

Both proteins are found in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.

According to Dr. Ross Mancini, a research scientist in medical chemistry who participated in this research, these results are very important for the prevention of this degenerative disease.

"This is the first time anyone has studied how phenylidane interacts with proteins badociated with Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease," he said.

According to him, the next step is to study the benefits of this compound and badyze its ability to enter the bloodstream or to cross the blood-brain barrier.

Dr. Donald Weaver, co-director of Institute of the brain, also shows the importance of using natural ingredients in research.

He said natural resources are very useful chemists. In addition, natural resources are also able to produce these compounds.

"This research has taken epidemiological evidence and tried to improve it, and shows that coffee contains useful components to combat cognitive decline," he said.

In this research, the researchers used a solution of coffee extract in water, where the coffee was used 100% in Arabica instant coffee.

The results show that coffee is transformed roasting The height offers the best protection against Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.

However, researchers have indicated that further research is needed before the coffee is used for medical treatment.

"Very interesting, but are we suggesting that coffee is a medicine, not at all," Weaver said.
