More Fruits and Veggies in Midlife May Preserve Cognition


Greater consumption of vegetables, fruit, and fruit juices in midlife may preserve cognitive function in later life, a large, longitudinal study suggests.
Leafy greens, berries, and orange juice conferred the greatest benefit. The research supports the potential protective effect of a diet higher in antioxidants and bioactive nutrients for preserving long-term cognition.
The findings “provide further evidence that dietary choices can be important to maintain brain health,” principal investigator Changzheng Yuan, ScD, of the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health in Boston, told Medscape Medical News.
The study was published online November 21, in Neurology .
