Eating LEAFY GREENS to counter cognitive ageing

Those kale smoothies and green eggs are doing more than putting your dishwasher through its paces – they’re keeping your mind young, too. Lutein, a nutrient found in leafy greens like spinach and kale, as well as avocados and eggs, is key to keeping your cognitive abilities sharp as you age. Researchers* found study participants with higher lutein levels had neural responses more in line with those younger than them than with their peers. Be sure to inform the next person who brunch-shames you for spending as much on eggs florentine as you do on rent.
