Remember the apples
From Consumer Affairs:Animal research from the University of Massachusetts Lowell indicates that apple juice consumption may actually increase the production in the brain of the essential neurotransmitter acetylcholine, resulting in improved memory. Neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine are chemicals released from nerve cells that transmit messages to other nerve cells. Such communication between nerve cells is vital for good health, not just in the brain, but throughout the body.See, Grandpa, there really is a good reason to eat your applesauce.
"We anticipate that the day may come when foods like apples, apple juice and other apple products are recommended along with the most popular Alzheimer's medications," says Thomas Shea, director of the UML Center for Cellular Neurobiology and Neurodegeneration Research.
