A member asked:
Do antioxidants help prevent cognitive decline?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inconclusive: There have been a great number of studies done on age-associated cognitive impairment and the potential of antioxidants to prevent memory impairments or alzheimer's disease. The findings so far have been inconclusive or contradictory. For the time being, it's sensible to strengthen positive health behaviors and to decrease behavioral health risk factors that may also influence cognitive decline.
