They analysed people suffering with early memory decline - but found a substance in grapes boosted attention and memory performance. Researchers took ten randomly selected men and women who were suffering with early memory decline, with an average age of 72. The results showed that eating grapes preserved healthy brain activity in regions of the brain affected by the earliest stages of Alzheimer's disease. GETTY Dementia: Experts said grapes could support brain health by boosting blood flowSigns and symptoms of Alzheimer's Tue, August 23, 2016 There are more than 520,000 people in the UK with Alzheimer's disease.
The study of people with early memory decline also discovered that grapes boosted attention and working memory performance. They also had significant decline in the left prefrontal, cingulate, and left superior posterolateral temporal cortex. Low metabolic activity in these areas of the brain is a hallmark of early stage Alzheimer's disease. The results showed that eating grapes preserved healthy metabolic activity in regions of the brain affected by the earliest stages of Alzheimer's disease.
