Go ahead, reach for those walnuts. A recently released study suggests that eating a handful of walnuts per day — or even less — may help boost memory, concentration and the speed at which your brain processes information.
In a recently released cross-sectional study that drew from a sample of 5,000 Americans aged 20 and older, those who ate more walnuts performed better on a series of six cognitive tests, according to new research from the David Geffen School of Medicine at The University of California, Los Angeles, led by Dr. Lenore Arab. And cognitive function was consistently better no matter the person’s age, gender or ethnicity. The findings add to a growing body of research surrounding walnuts’ benefits on brain health.
