(STUDYFINDS) — Adding mushrooms to your meals more frequently may help sharpen your brainpower. A new study finds that seniors who consume two portions of mushrooms per week are half as likely to develop mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
MCI is considered a stage of cognitive decline not as serious as Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, but sufferers still find themselves struggling to a degree with memory, attention, and other executive functions. As many as one in five seniors battle MCI, according to the Alzheimer’s Association.
