Coffee, tea and cocoa are the top three drinks in the world today. Coffee contains caffeine, polyphenols, aromatic oils and resins and other components. Caffeine can make brain nerve excited. This is why coffee has a "refreshing" effect.

According to recent reports in foreign medical journals, regular coffee drinking can also prevent Parkinson's disease (a degenerative brain neuropathy disease). People who drink three to four cups of coffee a day are 90 percent less likely to develop Parkinson's disease after age 65 than people who never drink coffee, according to a large-scale survey conducted by a European medical organization over several years. So why does drinking coffee protect against Parkinson's disease in old age? Western medical researchers speculate that both caffeine and flavonoids in coffee can penetrate the blood-brain barrier and act on brain tissue. It is likely that the synergy of these substances plays a key role in preventing neurodegeneration.

European medical researchers also pointed out that not only drinking coffee has this pharmacological effect, but green tea, which is loved by Orientals, also has the effect of preventing Parkinson's disease. Because green tea also contains a certain amount of caffeine (so tea also has a refreshing effect) and polyphenols such as catechins. Therefore, whether drinking coffee or drinking green tea has a certain health effect on the brain.
