The benefits of green salad for memory

Did you know that eating green salad every day helps your memory?

Yes, few people know this, but green salad has many benefits, including contributing to brain health and keeping the mind younger and more active.

Thanks to essential nutrients such as folic acid and antioxidants, green salad supports cognitive functions, helping concentration and memory.

Two valuable nutrients stand out among the benefits of green salad: folic acid and antioxidants.

Folic acid, or vitamin B9, promotes communication between nerve cells, supporting memory and concentration, thus helping to prevent cognitive decline and brain atrophy.

Antioxidants, such as vitamin D, on the other hand, improve cognitive functions and help prevent neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

That’s why vegetables such as baby green leafy salads are excellent foods for helping memory naturally, without using supplements.

A study published in the journal Neurology, by Martha Clare Morris and colleagues at the Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, shown that people who eat one serving per day of vegetables such as rocket, lettuce or baby spinach, keep their minds younger and more active.

The survey, conducted on over 900 people for almost five years, shown that participants who consumed green leafy vegetables every day had better cognitive performance than those who rarely ate them.

According to researchers, the difference corresponds to a mental age of approx. 11 years younger.
