The brain's memory area is called hippocampus. When there is destructive inflammation in the brain's memory center, memory loss is experienced. Over time, inflammation in the brain can cause significant memory loss. This can accelerate dementia or cause one to have magnified depressed feelings. All of this could play a roll in the onset of Alzheimer's disease.

Why is celery an important roll in prevention of memory loss?

Follow up:

Celery is one of the highest sources of high-powered flavonoid known as luteolin. The compounds found in luteolin were studied and it is found that it may help to cool off the destructive inflammation in the brain's memory center! New studies show that luteolin silences the nerve signals which travel in the brain to tell the immune cells to release inflammatory chemicals called cytokines.

No celery in the frig? Don't panic! Green peppers, chili peppers, spinach, lettuce, chamomile tea and thyme are excellent additions to the daily diet and they will ward off memory loss too. Yes, all these foods have pretty respectable levels of luteolin.

Build excellent food habits for your family and children. EAT MORE CELERY! Add it to school lunches, after school snacks and build long term memory health!
