BEETROOT JUICE HELPS WITH MEMORY IN ADULTS


BEETROOT JUICE HELPS WITH 
MEMORY IN ADULTS
I know several oder adults who have both alzheimer's and dementia, and the reason and causes behind their cases and states of being are completely unknown. I am always researching ways to prevent going down this path; not only for myself but for my parents as well. Here is an interesting tip that I would have never thought to implement into my diet;"Drinking beetroot juice increases blood flow to the brain, according to researchers - a finding that holds great promise for combating the progression of dementia.Scientists from Wake Forest University in the U.S were investigating the effects of nitrates found in the dark red vegetable.
Lead reseracher Professor Daniel Kim-Shapiro, said: 'There have been several very high-profile studies showing that drinking beetroot juice can lower blood pressure, but we wanted to show that drinking beet juice also increases perfusion, or blood flow, to the brain.'There are areas in the brain that become poorly perfused as you age, and that's believed to be associated with dementia and poor cognition.'..."
