MEMORY-BOOSTING VITAMINS
A new study published on Wednesday in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that taking daily multivitamins could boost memory in adults over the age of 60. The multivitamins helped improve memory in study participants who took them,, compared to those who took a placebo. Those who took multivitamins for a year could remember at least one extra word while doing a cognitive test that asked people to remember 20 words at a time. The vitamins apparently provide micro-nutrients to the brain's hippo-campus region, which plays a major role in learning and memory.
