Paragraph 2
Dr Willett conducted a
of the eating
and mental health of around 77,000 middle-aged people for 20 years. He discovered that people who ate more flavonoids were less
to experience signs of cognitive
later in their life. The researchers said people who ate
flavonoid-rich food were 38 per cent less likely to suffer from mental decline. Dr Willett said this meant people in their
years could feel up to four years younger with the right
. He added: "Flavonoids are powerhouses when it comes to preventing your thinking
from declining as you get
. Adding colour to your plate may lower the
of cognitive decline."
