Eating more pomegranates, strawberries and walnuts could help improve memory among Alzheimer’s patients, a new study has found. Nutritionists react to the findings.
Are pomegranates the next brain food? The link between diet and dementia has been well-documented, and now researchers at the University of Copenhagen and the U.S. National Institute on Aging have found that eating more pomegranates, strawberries and walnuts could help improve memory among Alzheimer’s patients. Those foods contain a substance called urolithin A, a compound created by gut bacteria.
Based on the 'promising results' seen in the mouse models, the researchers are planning to conduct clinical trials on humans. Tanya Freirich, a registered dietitian nutritionist in Charlotte, North Carolina, was not involved in the study but shared comments on the findings. 'Long-term urolithin A treatment significantly improved learning, memory and olfactory function in mice,' she told Fox News Digital.
