Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #50154 Flavonols
Instructions
The  cognitive  score  of  people  in  the  study  who  ate  the  most  flavonols  declined  0.4  units  per  decade  more  slowly  than  those  who  ate  the  fewest  flavonols.  The  results  held  even  after    for  other  factors  that  can  affect  memory,  such  as  age,  sex  and  smoking,  according  to  the  study  recently  published  in  Neurology,  the  medical  journal  of  the  American  Academy  of  Neurology.  Flavonols  are  cytoprotective,  meaning  they  protect  cells,  including  neurons,  so  its    there  could  be  a  direct  impact  on  cognition.  Plants  contain  over  5,000  flavonoid  compounds,  which  play  roles  in  producing  cell  growth,  fighting  environmental  stress  and  attracting  insects  for  pollination.  Flavonols,  a  type  of  flavonoid,  have  been  shown  in  animal  and  some  human  studies  to  reduce  inflammation,  a  major    for  chronic  disease,  and  are  rich  sources  of  antioxidants.  They  may  also  be  a  marker  of  better  overall  diet  quality,  or  even  greater  health  .  People  who  are  more  health  conscious  may  do  things  to  preserve  their  cognition,  or  maybe  being  more  health  conscious  is  a  by-product  of  better  cognition.
