Simple snack may offer Alzheimer's protection | Fox News

Simple snack may offer Alzheimer's protection | Fox News: As the threat of Alzheimer's disease grows, a simple snack may offer some protection. Researchers in New York say via Eureka Alert that walnuts can help improve learning, memory, and motor skills and reduce anxiety—at least in mice.

The scientists, led by Dr. Abha Chauhan, fed mice different diets comparable to one ounce or 1.5 ounces of walnuts daily in humans. Those given the walnuts performed far better in mazes and other tests, the Washington Post reports.
