People who eat or drink more foods with antioxidant flavonols, found in several fruits, vegetables, tea and wine, may have a slower rate of memory decline, according to a study. "It's exciting that our study shows making specific diet choices may lead to a slower rate of cognitive decline," said study author Thomas M. Holland of Rush University Medical Centre in Chicago, US. The researchers found that people who had the highest intake of kaempferol had a 0.4 units per decade slower rate of cognitive decline compared to those in the lowest group. Those with the highest intake of quercetin had a 0.2 units per decade slower rate of cognitive decline compared to those in the lowest group. People with the highest intake of myricetin had a 0.3 units per decade slower rate of cognitive decline compared to those in the lowest group.
