If you have dementia, foods are preferred. Indeed, according to the latest study of the magazine Neurologyfoods high in antioxidants will help protect your brain.
It’s no longer a secret that food can have a huge impact on health. Indeed, these can be beneficial but also detrimental to health. This is the reason why Eating a balanced diet is increasingly recommended by doctors.
A food = a benefit
As proof, certain foods are even used to manage to hide gray hair.. This is particularly the case for foods rich in fatty acids, which slow down the effects of aging, as recalled by the site dlabparis.com : “Vitamin B12 also contributes to the pigmentation of the hair and the maintenance of its color. In the case of vitamin B12 deficiency, the appearance of white hair is one of the main consequences.”
However, it is not the fatty acids that interest us today, but the foods rich in antioxidants. And for good reason, they are excellent for your health., and more specifically for the brain. They are therefore to be preferred if you suffer from certain diseases, but especially if you have dementia.

Antioxidants ahead
Researchers are therefore in charge of making the link between diseases and food to try to find the best combos. To do this, the magazine Neurology decided to test the cognitive abilities and physical fitness of nearly 7,300 people over the age of 45 for more than 16 years. And the result was final. People tested who have high levels of lutein, beta-cryptoxanthin and zeaxanthin are less likely to develop dementia as they age.
Indeed, antioxidants protect against oxidative stress and cell aging, the latter can be found in fruits and in vegetables. Lutein and zeaxanthin reduce the risk of cataracts, found in leafy green vegetables like broccoli, kale, spinach but also peas.beta-cryptoxanthinas for it allows the reduction of the risk of osteoporosis and helps with bone mineralization. This molecule is present in mandarins, clementines, oranges and papayas.
