Sugar consumption and memory of the elderly
Elderly people often stay away from sweets, especially keep the amount of sugar in tea low. Some people do not consume sugar because of diabetes, while others believe that eating sugar can cause them diabetes. But, for the elderly who have the problem of forgetfulness, consumption of sugar can be beneficial.
A study has found that for elderly people who have weak memory, consuming just one spoon of sugar can be beneficial. Researchers say that drinking one spoon of sugar mixed in water improves brain function and also improves memory.
This study was conducted at the University of Warwick. According to experts, one spoonful of sugar improves the mood of people above 65 years of age and also improves their memory. Researchers believe that this study may be useful for the elderly who are trying to increase their brain function.
Some elderly people were included in the research, who were given glucose mixed drink. After this they were asked to perform a memory task. The results of the study showed that the elderly who consumed the glucose drink had improved memory, better mood and increased ability to concentrate.
