New Study: Vegan Diet Protects Against Memory Loss

MFA Volunteer July 2, 2015
Ever have
trouble remembering where you left your keys? Not sure what you ate for
breakfast yesterday? A vegan diet might be the answer to your woes!
A
new study
out of the Rush University Medical Center indicates that eating
more green vegetables like spinach, kale, and broccoli can boost your memory
and even keep brain diseases like dementia and Alzheimer’s at bay.
Researchers
followed the diets of 950 individuals over the course of five years and were
stunned to notice an extraordinary pattern: participants that consumed the most
green vegetables were able to retain significantly more of their cognitive
ability than other participants. In fact, those who ate the most veggies showed
the cognitive ability of someone 11 years younger than those who ate none!
But a
plant-based diet doesn’t just improve your memory; it also dramatically lowers your risk of heart
disease
, can reverse
diabetes
, and may even help you stay trim!
With so
many great benefits, there’s no better time than right now to put down those
chicken fingers and pick up some delicious
plant-based alternatives
!
For
brainiacs and bodybuilders
alike, a vegan diet is sure to help you reach peak performance. Check out ChooseVeg.com for delicious vegan recipes
and tips on making the transition.
