Subject: Healthy living linked to higher brain function, delay of dementia
According to a recent study by York University, fruits, vegetables, and regular exercise have more to do with our well-being than we think. Researchers discovered that people who were normal weight or overweight, but not obese, and ate healthy had much higher cognitive function. The diet high in essential minerals and nutrients helped maintain and increase cognitive function in adults.
Key Takeaways:
- It's tempting to dip into the leftover Halloween treats, but new research out of York University has found eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, combined with regular exercise, leads to better cognitive functioning for younger and older adults, and may delay the onset of dementia.
- What they found was that for those who are normal weight or overweight, but not obese, eating more than 10 servings of fruit and vegetable daily was linked to better cognitive functioning.
- Higher levels of physical activity were linked to the relationship between higher daily fruit and vegetable consumption and better cognitive performance.
