“It’s one of the most dreaded problems associated with growing older- memory problems. But dementia and even plain old “senior moments” don’t have to be inevitable with age. Research is mounting that do-it-yourself strategies like continuing to challenge your brain by learning new things and exercise can help preserve your cognition as you age.

Now scientists have found that a delicious natural drink can actually improve memory in older adults who have already experienced early memory decline. The brain power booster isn’t anything exotic or rare, either – it is Concord grape juice.” Participants in the study drank between 15 and 21 ounces of concord grape juice or placebo juice each day depending on their weight for 12 weeks.

“The study participants who drank the Concord grape juice were found to have significant improvements when given learning tests.” For better health, include this tasty beverage along with exercise and a prudent diet in your lifestyle program! ResearchHealth.com; July 14, 2008.
