Vegetables and fruit, as a source of bioactive substances, and impact on memory and cognitive function of elderly
Habitual intake of fruits and vegetables may enhance memory and cognitive function in elderly men and women.
This research work studied how diets that encourage the consumption of fruits and vegetables affect memory and cognitive function in older adults. Researchers performed a meta-analysis on data obtained from 16 studies.
Researchers noticed that elderly men and women with high intake of fruits and vegetables displayed better memory and cognitive performance than their colleagues who ate little or none of these plant foods. This study highlighted the beneficial role frequent ingestion of fruits and vegetables may play in improving memory and cognitive function in older adults.
