Does an Apple a Day Keep Dementia Away? 一天一苹果真的预防痴呆么？ Apples have been as not only a delicious fruit, but also as an effective way to improve your health. Research suggests that eating apples can benefit your heart, your teeth, and your energy level. Eating a higher amount of fruits and vegetables in general has also been associated with a lower risk for chronic diseases including coronary heart disease, asthma, diabetes, cancer and perhaps even Alzheimer's disease. 苹果不仅因其美味倍受热捧，而且对健康有十分有利的影响。研究表明多吃苹果让你心好，牙好，精神好。一般说来，多吃蔬菜水果能降低罹患冠心病、哮喘、糖尿病、癌症和老年痴呆等慢性病的风险。 So, is it true that apples are a super fruit? Do they impact the health and functioning of your brain? The research is limited, but it does show some promise. 那么，苹果真的是万能水果么？它们真的能影响大脑健康和机能么？关于这方面的研究虽然有限，但的确被证明有一定可能性。 A Review of 3 Research Studies 回顾三项相关研究 The Effect of Apples on Memory 苹果对记忆的影响 One study published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease involved older mice who were fed a deficient diet. These mice then demonstrated a decline in their cognitive ability shown by poor performance in navigating a maze. However, after apple juice was added to their drinking water for a month, their memory was restored and they were able to efficiently navigate the maze again. (Often, research on mice translates to humans, which would suggest that apple juice may improve our memory.) |
