Seniors with type 2 diabetes may experience memory declines
immediately after eating unhealthy meal
Can be offset by taking antioxidant vitamins with meal, but healthy
diet rich in fruits and vegetables is best defense
Toronto, CANADA – Adults with type 2 diabetes who eat unhealthy,
high-
fat meals may experience memory declines immediately afterward, but
this can be offset by taking antioxidant vitamins with the meal,
according to new research from Baycrest.
There is already growing evidence linking diabetes to cognitive
complications in humans. Adults with type 2 diabetes are especially
vulnerable to acute meal-induced memory deficits after eating
unhealthy foods.
This latest study, led by Baycrest and published in the July issue of
Nutrition Research, suggests that taking high doses of antioxidant
vitamins C and E with the meal may help minimize those memory slumps.
