3. Improve Memory
Older adults who regularly consume apples and other flavonoid-rich foods are less likely to develop dementia and Alzheimer’s disease than those who eat only small amounts.4‘Long-term Dietary Flavonoid Intake and Risk Of Alzheimer Disease and Related Dementias in the Framingham Offspring Cohort.’ Esra Shishtar;Gail Rogers;Jeffrey Blumberg;Rhoda Au;Paul Jacques, academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/112/2/343/5823790
Research also shows that the flavonoid quercetin helps prevent the deterioration of neurons in the brain, thereby reducing mental decline in old age.5‘Compound In Apples May Help Fight Alzheimer’s Disease,’ sciencedaily.com/releases/2004/11/041116215006.htm More research needs to be carried out, but animal studies suggest that there’s a positive link between the health benefits of apples and the prevention of memory loss.
