Just 2 teaspoons of nuts can stave off cognitive decline in the elderly
by Edsel Cook

(Natural News) As people grow older, their cognitive health declines. But a new Australian study suggests that aging people can improve their cognitive function if they eat large amounts of nuts every day.

The researchers surveyed more than 4,800 Chinese adults who were 55 years of age or older for 15 years. They discovered a link between eating more than 10 grams of nuts every day and improved mental ability.

They reported that participants who ate that amount of nuts regularly displayed better memory, reasoning, and thinking.

Dr. Ming Li oversaw the efforts of the University of South Australia (UniSA) research team. He remarked that their findings provided the first evidence of a correlation between cognition and nut intake in aging Chinese adults.

Their findings also offered a potential solution for the increasing number of mental health problems that affected aging populations, such as dementia.

“Population aging is one of the most substantial challenges of the twenty-first century,” explained Li. “Not only are people living longer, but as they age, they require additional health support which is placing unprecedented pressure on aged-care and health services.” (Related: Improve cognitive performance and attention with good fats and nutrition.)
