Sept. 18, 2024 – “Our findings show that consuming six additional servings of flavonoid-rich foods per day, in particular berries, and tea was associated with a 28% lower risk of dementia.” Tea, though? I reckon we’re safe to keep that one in our routine. Flavonoids have also been linked to decreased cognitive decline, and a reduced risk of chronic heart conditions, Queen’s University says (untreated heart conditions have been associated with a higher dementia risk).
If you think the flavonoids present in red wine mean going on the lash will dementia-proof your brain, however, that’s very unlikely.
Neurologist and author of How To Prevent Dementia, Dr Richard Restak, said that alcohol is a “direct neurotoxin”, especially when consumed in large quantities. He pointed out that there’s even a form of dementia specifically created by the overconsumption of booze.
