Eating Leafy Greens Each Day Tied to Sharper Memory, Slower Decline

5/9/2018

This article from NPR discusses a study that suggests eating leafy greens daily may have cognitive benefits and help maintain a sharp mind. The study followed a group of older adults for a few years and found that those who regularly consumed leafy greens, such as spinach, kale, and collard greens, had a slower cognitive decline compared to those who ate fewer leafy greens. The article highlights that these vegetables are rich in nutrients like folate, vitamin K, and lutein, which have been linked to brain health. While the study does not prove causation, it adds to the growing body of evidence supporting the importance of a healthy diet in maintaining brain function.
