According to recent research, an apple a day doesn’t just keep the doctor away. It may help you preserve your memory, as well.
A new study published in the Journal on Nutrition, Health and Aging, found that foods high in quercetin - a powerful antioxidant found primarily in the skins of red apples - helps to protect neurons from the free radical damage that contributes to Alzheimer’s disease.
So go ahead and indulge in crispy, fresh fall apples like Red Delicious, Rome and McIntosh. And remember: when it comes to apples, the redder, the better.
