Geoff's Health Tip
Antioxidants in Avocados and Green Leafy Vegetables Help Prevent Age-related Dementia
​​​​​​​
In an article published in Medscape on 5 May, it was reported that higher levels of specific carotenoid antioxidants may help guard against age-related dementia.
 
Investigators from the National Institute on Ageing (NIA) found that people with high serum levels of lutein and zeaxanthin found in green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale, broccoli, peas and avocados were less likely to have dementia decades later, than their peers with low levels of these antioxidants.
 
Other related antioxidants found in oranges, papaya, tangerines and persimmons were also beneficial.
