Healthy Ways to Deter Dementia that you May No Longer be Doing

Dementia deterred: Drink orange juice! 

Here is a new twist on an old favorite Orange Juice, it has been hammered in articles on healthy eating trends for its sugar content and substituted using greener and 'cleaner' fare at the hipster's breakfast table, the formerlyalways present OJ is having a crisis of confidence.  Just as the humble bowl of cereal has lost its heart-healthy standing, so the orange's zest in vitamin C is being crushed to a pulp.  However, if spinach smoothies aren't quite hitting the area, the most recent study is worth remembering.  Scientists at Tohoku University in Japan have discovered that daily consumption of citrus fruits may cut your risk of developing dementia by nearly a quarter.  That is because citric acid contains nobiletin.  Nobiletin is a flavonoid isolated from citrus peels. It is an O-methylated flavone that has the activity to rescue bulbectomy-induced memory impairment.  With anti-inflammatory, anti bacterial and anti-microbial properties which has also been proven to slow or reverse  memory impairment.  Dementia is a state you would be well advised to put the squeeze o, with experts predicting that  millions will be diagnosed with the disease by 2040. However, in news that could be bittersweet, most nobiletin is contained in the pith (the white sewing of the fruit).  So unless you're ready to juice your own, buy the variety with pulp'  for optimum benefit.  Couple your OJ with these basics to further bolster your brainpower and enhance mental sharpness.

Marmite: The University of York found daily servings upped the calming chemical messenger GABA, aiding healthy brain activity.  Marmiteis a concentrated yeast extract paste enjoyed at any time of the day.  Whether on toast for breakfast on a sandwich for lunch or added ingredient in stews and casseroles.
