Finish those Apples!!
Finish up those autumn apples. They're good for your brain. Apples are high in quercetin, a compound with antioxidant properties that may decrease the risk of neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's by protecting brain cell membranes. Quercetin has an even higher antioxidant capacity than vitamin C, studies suggest. Other ways to get your fill: tea, onions, and cranberries.
Eating a diverse diet that includes 4 servings of fruit per day can make your real age as much as 4 years younger.
