Concord Grape Juice Aids Cognitive Function in Women
11 Mar 2016 --- Drinking Concord grape juice daily may benefit cognitive function and driving performance in busy women managing everyday stress, according to research published in March 2016 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
The relationship between Concord grape juice consumption and cognition is an emerging but growing area of research – specifically with regards to age-related memory decline.
For the first time, researchers from the University of Leeds, UK, have shown that the cognitive health effects associated with the Concord grape are not exclusive to older adults and that younger, healthy women may also benefit from drinking 100% juice made from this dark purple berry.
"Dark purple, seeded grapes, like the Concord grape, have more polyphenols (flavonoids) than many table grapes, because these naturally-occurring plant nutrients are concentrated in the seeds as well as in the colorful skin. This might have something to do with the beneficial and enduring effects that we observed on measures of memory and driving performance."
