                                              Vegetables may aid the brain
     A study suggests certain vegetables such as broccoli(西兰花)and spinach(菠菜)might help older
women keep their minds sharp.
     Researchers have discovered that women in their 60s who eat more green leafy vegetables how less
signs of mental decline over time reported Wednesday's CRI online.
     They gave participants a bundle of tests measuring memory oral ability and attention. The study
didn't include men but researchers say a similar diet would likely have the same results.
     Eating fish can cut risk of heart rhythm disorder
     US scientists have found that eating fish can reduce the risk of deadly heartbeat disorders. They say
baked fish can effectively reduce the risk of atria fibrillation(心房颤动)among older men and women
reported Tuesday's CRI online.
     Researchers say in their 12 years of research among 4 800 people over the age of 65 they found
those who ate fish one to four times per week had an about 30 percent lower risk compared with those
who ate fish less than once a month. They say the omega-3 fatty acid can reduce the risk of a range of
heart disorders and is vital to brain development and function.
     Red wine may extend life
    US scientist have found that a mixture that makes red wine a healthy drink may also hold the secret
to a longer life. They say antioxidant(抗氧化剂) in wine acted on fruited flies and worms in the same
way as a method known to extend the life of many animals which is by sharply limiting how much they
eat.
     Limiting calories has been shown to make animals such as dogs and monkeys live longer but they
are often tired and lose productivity. The researchers will begin testing the mixture in mice.
