Studies show that if you eat half a cup every day at the age of 50, you will be able to lose your mind later.
- A new study shows that eating half a cup of blueberries a day over the age of 50 can help prevent later cognitive impairment.
- Researchers have found that people over the age of 50 are better tested by cognitive tests and even have better blood sugar levels.
- Researchers have suggested that blueberries contain anthocyanins, but this may be due to their inability to resolve the mechanism.
- A report by the Alzheimer’s Association estimates that more than six million Americans are mentally retarded.
A new study shows that eating half a cup of blueberries a day by the end of 50 can help prevent dementia.
For three months, researchers at the University of Cincinnati observed 13 obese adults with memory loss before fruits and vegetables, and found that their memory improved significantly compared to others without fruits.
Team fruits can have a protective effect because they contain anthocyanins, a type of flavonoid that can reduce inflammation.
However, they acknowledged that it was difficult to determine whether blueberries improved, as the study was observational, meaning that the result could not be attributed to other factors and the sample size was small.

In a study published in the journal Nutrients, scientists found that 33 adults over the age of 50 in the Cincinnati area gained weight in middle age.
Participants in the two groups weighed an average of 205 pounds and had a waist circumference of about 107 centimeters.
Their BMI scores were 33, which divided them into obese.
All of them preceded diabetes when the body became resistant to insulin.
This is a step closer to type 2 diabetes – a major risk factor for dementia.
During the trial, the adults were told to stop eating all fruits and vegetables.
He was then given a bag to mix with half a glass of water equal to half a glass of fruit.
The others received a placebo bag containing an inert powder.
The test was double-blind, so participants and researchers did not know who was taking the “blue or placebo bags”.
Prior to the experiment, tests were performed to measure the participant’s memory.
These were repeated 12 weeks after eating blueberries or placebo.
Dr. Robert Kricorian, a psychologist who led the study, and others wrote in the newspaper: “Cognitive results show that this middle-aged model has improved performance. [who had blueberries].
‘Demonstrate these benefits in middle-aged people with insulin resistance [subjective cognitive decline] It suggests early exercise in at-risk individuals if an ongoing blueberry compound can contribute to protection against cognitive decline.
They added: “In short, this study showed that the blue wolf compound has neurocognitive benefits in middle-aged people who are insulin-resistant and at risk for future mental disorders.”
According to the Alzheimer’s Association, more than 6 million Americans are mentally retarded.
By 2050, that number will reach about 13 million as the aging population increases – or one in 25 people.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the first signs of the condition include memory loss, difficulty concentrating and communicating with others.
This can include getting lost in a familiar neighborhood, using unusual words about familiar objects, and forgetting the names of family members.
Old age is the strongest risk factor for the development of this disease – it has a high family history and a high risk of heart disease.
There is currently no cure for dementia, and treatment is aimed at slowing down the condition and limiting its symptoms.
