Drink your wine, eat your green leafy vegetables and keep your brain to enjoy your life. :)



Vegetables May Boost Brain Power in Older Adults

http://www.cbc.ca/cp/HealthScout/061023/6102320U.html


Want to preserve your mental edge as you age? Vegetables - particularly green, leafy ones - will do the trick if you eat three servings a day, new research shows.

But the research also suggests that the same effect is not found in those who eat lots of fruit.

"It's a modest effect," said Martha Clare Morris, associate professor at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, and lead author of the study. "People who consumed two or more vegetables a day had a 35 to 40 percent decrease in the decline in thinking ability over six years. That's the equivalent of being five years younger in age."

The study results are published in the Oct. 24 issue of the journal Neurology.
