Popeye Should Be Happy! A recent study has shown that vegetables, especially green leafy ones can help preserve memory. It seems to be especially true if you eat three servings a day. According to information published in the journal Neurology, (10/24/06) those who ate 2 or more vegetables a day had a 35% to 40% decrease in cognitive loss over a 6 year period. That is the same effect as being 5 years younger. The best results were however, for those who ate lettuce and tossed salad, kale, collards and spinach. The exact reason for the superlative effects of vegetables is unclear and will require further study. One theory is how vegetables are generally eaten. According to Martha Clare Morris ScD of Rush University Medical Center, "When we eat vegetables, we tend to put the good fats on them, such as an oil-based salad dressing on salads, healthy-fat mayonnaise on cole slaw, and healthy-fat margarine on vegetables," Morris added. "Such fats help us to absorb the vitamin E, and perhaps are also beneficial to the brain. So that's one plausible explanation of why vegetables are good for you." The participants in the study were 65 or older. Eating fruit did not show to have the same effect on memory as did vegetables.
