Nuts and legumes are abundant sources […]
Longer-term skin-roasted peanut consumption improves brain vascular function and memory: A randomized, single-blind, controlled crossover trial in healthy older adults
Background and aims: Reduced brain vascular function contributes to age-related cognitive decline. While peanut consumption may improve cognitive performance, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the longer-term effects of skin-roasted peanut consumption on brain vascular function and cognitive performance in older adults. Methods: In a randomized, single-blind, controlled crossover trial, 31 […]
