EmailMemory Boosters
Worried about memory loss as you age? There are some things that you can do that may help keep the memory sharp for longer.
According to studies at Baycrest, there is a relationship between nutrient-deficient diets and lower levels of cognitive performance, including tests of memory.
The best diet to aid in the preservation of memory is:
- High in fruits and vegetables
- Low in cholesterol, monounsaturated and saturated fatty acids
The key nutrients are:
- Vitamins B2, C, B12
- Folic Acid
These nutrients can be found in foods such as beef liver, broccoli, kiwi, soybeans and green leafy vegetables. You may also want to speak to your physician or dietician about taking supplements.
