Asparagus for the Brain! Help keep your mind sharp with a few tender spears of asparagus. Low blood levels of folate and high blood levels of homocysteine were associated with greater memory problems for people 65 and older in a recent study. Protect against memory deficits by getting plenty of folate-rich foods such as asparagus. Increasing your blood levels of folate can help keep your homocysteine levels in check. Getting a total of 700 micrograms of folate per day in food and supplements can make your real age as much as 1.2 years younger.
