Worried about dementia? OJ may help.
The secret to lowering the risk of dementia might have been in your fridge all this time. Packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and essential nutrients, 100% orange juice has been shown to support brain function, enhance memory, and protect against oxidative stress – a key contributor to dementia. Estimates vary, but experts report more than 7 million people ages 65 or older had dementia in 2020. If current demographic and health trends continue, more than 9 million Americans could have dementia by 2030 and nearly 12 million by 2040. A recent study, published by The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, finds that moderate consumption of up to one cup per day of 100% orange juice lowers the risk of dementia. Drinking one cup per day of 100% juice by study participants resulted in a higher volume of gray matter, which is responsible for processing information in the brain.
However, drinking up to two cups per day of artificially sweetened beverages, and more than two cups per day of sugar-sweetened beverages, increases the risk of dementia, so it’s important that you find an orange juice that does not contain any added sugars.
