Chan School of Public Health<sup><a href=\"#references\">1<\/a><\/sup> has shown that drinking 100% orange juice daily was associated with substantially lower odds of cognitive decline in U.S. men than those who consumed orange juice less than once per month.\u00a0<em>Fruit juices showed a strong dose-response and orange juice was the main contributor to this association.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The research findings support the idea that higher long-term intake of fruits and vegetables can have an important role in maintaining cognitive function. Subgroups of fruits and vegetables that appeared particularly important included green leafy vegetables, carotenoid-rich vegetables, berry fruits and orange juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This finding was part of a large study that evaluated the prospective association of long-term consumption of fruits and vegetables with late-life cognitive function. The study had many strengths including a large sample size, careful control of other variables that influence cognitive health, and more than 20 years of follow-up in order to best represent long-term diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The study adds to a growing body of evidence that long-term consumption of 100% orange juice across the life span plays a positive role in cognitive function and supporting brain health. This is likely due to the nutrients and plant compounds such as hesperidin, vitamin B6, thiamin, vitamin C and the carotenoid \uf062-cryptoxanthin found in 100% orange juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, please go to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.floridacitrus.org\/grower\/fr\/oj\/health-nutrition\/orange-juice-health-benefits\/cognitive-function\/\">https:\/\/www.floridacitrus.org\/oj\/health-nutrition\/orange-juice-health-benefits\/cognitive-function\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-fdoc-references\" id=\"references\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-fdoc-references__heading\">References<\/h2><ol class=\"wp-block-fdoc-references__list\"><li>Changzheng\u00a0Yuan,\u00a0Elinor\u00a0Fondell,\u00a0Ambika\u00a0Bhushan,\u00a0AlbertoAscherio,\u00a0Olivia I.\u00a0Okereke,\u00a0Francine\u00a0Grodstein,\u00a0Walter C.\u00a0Willett.
