Antioxidants Boost Brain Function

Saturday, September 26, 2009 - Byron Richards, CCN

Antioxidants are a form of savings account within your brain that enables your brain not only to tolerate stress but to learn.  A new study shows that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables results in higher levels of antioxidants and better cognitive performance during aging.  The principle of adequate antioxidants to support learning and cognitive function applies to any person of any age.

The study showed that adults regularly consuming .9 pounds total weight of fresh fruit and vegetables every day produced higher antioxidant levels of carotenes and vitamin E, less free radical damage, and better cognitive function.  These results were in comparison to consuming less than .2 pounds of fruit and veggies per day.

There is a very good reason for the dietary recommendation to get five servings of fruit and vegetables every day – it is one government recommendation I agree with.

Dietary supplements like Daily Protector, which is a concentrate of high-grade food extracts of carotenes, fruits, and other antioxidants can go a long way to supporting this basic health need, especially if your diet or your child’s diet is short on these important nutrients.
