Older adults who consume avocado have better cognition

Older adults who consume avocado have better cognition

October 3, 2022 By Paul

A case study conducted by national US healthcare professionals included 2,886 seniors looking to improve cognitive ability. The research showed that including avocado as a regular food in an older adult’s diet can result in a large amount of cognitive benefits, such as a decreased risk of Alzheimer’s disease. These new findings also expanded on how nutritional education among older adults in the United States should be offered as a way to promote the intake of a wide variety of nutrients on a regular basis.

Key Takeaways:

  • Following the results of the 2011-14 NHANES research project, it is recommended that seniors add avocados as a staple in their diet.
  • Older adults can benefit both mentally and physically by being mentored on how to introduce a wide variety of foods into their diet.
  • Regular consumption of avocados can enhance overall fluency, as well as reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s.

“The avocado consuming group delivered significantly better results across all four tests and had a better overall cognitive score, which persisted even after adjusting for any confounding factors.”
