If your diet is low in folic acid and zinc, you run the risk of elevated levels of the protein homocysteine, which can contribute to the onset of Alzheimer's later in life. The higher the homocysteine, the greater the damage to the brain. Folica cid was found to lower homocysteine levels in a three-year study.
Best sources: Wheatgerm, spinach, sprouts, lentils, black-eyed peas, soya beans, green peas, artichokes, brocolli, beets, and oranges.
