Two types of fruit that announce dementia - this is how they protect their brain!
The latest studies show that consumption of certain types of fruit can significantly reduce the risk of dementia. Apple and berries are particularly striking that, as in reports of the Fuldaer Zeitung and 24vita.de , can contribute to the promotion of brain health. Around 3,600 subjects aged around 70 years took part in a large -scale study by Columbia University. The results showed that a diet was rich in flavonoid -containing foods such as apples and berries directly with a lower decrease in cognitive skills.Essen half a portion of berries and at least two apples every day means not only pleasure, but also health care. According to research, participants who increased their flavonoid intake have significantly improved their memory performance compared to those who ate less. Consumption of other flavonoid -red foods such as tea and dark chocolate can also be helpful. In a nine -year observation study, it was found that people who consumed many flavonoid -containing foods every day had a 28 percent reduced risk of dementia.
flavonoids as a key to prevention
flavonoids, which are responsible for the colors of many fruit and vegetable varieties, have antioxidant properties and thus protect against free radicals from cell-damaging. These secondary plant substances can not only be found in apples and berries, but also in tea and red wine. The study by 24vita.de shows that daily use of these foods can reduce the importance of a health conscious diet underlined. Experts therefore recommend a targeted integration of these foods into the daily menu in order to actively counter the cognitive breakdown.
