Eating Nuts In Your Forties Could Cut Dementia Risk In Later Life, Study Finds,” by Natasha Preskey, Independent


Quote:
“Eating nuts from mid-life onwards could help stave off dementia as we age, a large-scale study has found. Researchers at the National University of Singapore followed almost 17,000 people from 1993 to 2016, assessing first their diets and, later, their cognitive function. People who began eating nuts in their 40s twice a week or more were more than a fifth less likely to have problems with memory when they were over 60, compared with those who ate nuts less than around once a month.”

Nuts to you.
