Flavonoids
A study conducted by researchers at the University of California Los Angeles found that consuming almonds regularly improved memory and cognitive function in participants, especially in tasks that require logical reasoning and problem-solving skills.

One of the reasons behind this cognitive boost is the presence of flavonoids in almonds, which are known for their antioxidant properties. These natural compounds reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the brain, which are known to contribute to cognitive decline – promoting better blood flow.

Almonds are rich in dietary flavonoids, which offer several neuroprotective benefits. A study published in Genes & Nutrition highlights that these flavonoids can protect neurons from damage caused by neurotoxins and reduce neuroinflammation. Furthermore, they may enhance cognitive function, learning and memory.
