Maybe a couple apple juices a day will keep memory decline away?
Previous studies at the Center for Cellular Neurobiology have shown that drinking apple juice helped mice perform better in maze trials and assisted in keeping mice sharp as they aged.
A new study by the same center, published recently in the January 2009 issue of the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, reveals that mice receiving two glasses of apple juice per day for one month produced less beta-amyloid — a small protein fragment responsible for forming the senile plaques frequently found in brains of individuals suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.
Researchers believe these findings provide more evidence that regular consumption of apple juice might help keep your mind functioning at its best and perhaps delay aspects of Alzheimer’s disease.
Do you enjoy apple juice?
