3 Veggies That Make Your Brain Younger

Broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage.
Consider them a facelift for your brain.

That’s because munching on veggies like these, which belong to the cruciferous family of veggies, could shave 1 to 2 years off your mind’s age. Here’s how they help…

The Big Memory Reveal

Think cruciferous for cancer protection, too. Here’s why.Women who filled out a food-intake questionnaire demonstrated some pretty significant memory muscle on tests when their questionnaires revealed a true love for all things cruciferous (as well as leafy and green, like spinach).

In fact, the veggie-lovers’ test scores were more in line with those of women a couple of years younger. That means your brain could be 48 when the calendar says it’s 50. Not bad. HUH?

Mighty Nutrients

Researchers speculate that nutrients like lutein and folate, found in abundance in foods like spinach, may be part of the reason for the brain benefits that cruciferous and leafy green veggies confer.

There is a newer and more accurate way of judging your “real” age. The concept is called “Bio Age” and compares several biological factors (not a questionnaire) to calculate a more accurate true physiological age as well as one’s aging trend. So for instance, I am 53 but my Bio Age is 46 and the trend is that I am aging more slowly than my chronological birthdays.

This information helps me to fine tune my diet and exercise programs and eliminate activities and expensive supplements that aren’t producing a real benefit. The Bio Age is one of 4 modules in a program called the Health Wizard (awscenter.com) which runs on my PC.
