Fruit and Vegetable Blends Prevent Memory Loss

Drinking your fruits and vegetables can be more beneficial to you than you may think. Drinking them at least 3 times a week in a blend could help your memory. Certain poly-phenols found in purple and blue fruits and vegetables have been found to delay the onset of one of the most feared diseases in the world ? Alzheimer`s. Scientists in Florida studied more than 1,800 older Japanese American men and women for nine years, and found them to be without any signs of dementia. Researchers from USF, the University of South Florida, concluded that there was a 75% reduced risk among those who drank these fruit and vegetable blends at least three times a week as compared to those who drank them less than once a week.

The most common cause of dementia is Alzheimer`s disease. There are nearly 18 million people in the world who have dementia. Researchers estimate that by 2025 this figure will rise to 34 million, with 71 percent of these living in developed countries. Antioxidants, particularly those from fruits and vegetables have been associated with the delayed onset of the disease, however there is little evidence to date that supplements can offer the same benefit.

While many Americans are big fruit juice consumers, the Japanese have been drinking fruit and vegetable juice blends for years. And now you can benefit from the healthy culinary expertise of one of Japan`s most seasoned juice makers, Kagome. Purple Roots and Fruits is a unique 50/50 fruit and vegetable blend that includes grapes, beets and purple carrots. Kagome is the only juice maker that incorporates the exotic purple carrot, a vegetable with high levels of the antioxidant anthocyanin. Blue and purple fruits and vegetables are best known for promoting healthy aging and memory function. Kagome juices can be found in natural health food stores nationwide (11.5 and 30-oz. bottles/$2.19 to $3.39).
