Think Fast Forever Recent studies show the more vegetables you eat on a daily basis, the less likely you are to suffer age-related declines in mental function. Specifically, green leafy veggies like spinach, broccoli and mixed greens are especially beneficial brain food. In this study of 3,000 seniors (age 65 or older), those who ate more than two servings daily had a 40 percent rate of slower decline in brain function. The same researchers from Rush University also found that seniors prone to chronic negative emotions, like anger, anxiety and depression, were more likely to have deterioration in their mental capacities as they aged, compared to individuals who were generally happier and less stressed. |
