Benefiting at work from Brain Based Insights

Did you know that people who drink three or more servings of fruit and vegetable juices per week show 76 percent lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease compared to those who drink juice less than once per week. 

 A Vanderbilt University Medical Center study observed subjects from a large cross-cultural study of dementia, called the Ni-Hon-Sea Project, which studied Alzheimer's disease in older Japanese populations living in , Hawaii and Seattle, Wash.

Researchers identified 1,836 dementia-free subjects in the Seattle population and collected information on their consumption of fruit and vegetable juices. They then assessed cognitive function every two years for up to 10 years.

While they still do not  know if any specific type of juice  reduces risk… researchers plan to do further studies to narrow down the kinds of juices, to this promising possibility to help prevent Alzheimer's disease.

In the meantime… I plan to continue the practice of launching my own brain and my workday …. with a large glass of orange juice. I like to blend it with three teaspoons of tofu which gives it that milkshake texture. Some people throw in yogurt a banana or other fruit as well for a fresh fruit smoothie…. How about you?
