Apples and apple-based products won't make you better at Scrabble, but studies have shown they may help to reduce some of the effects of age-related mental deterioration and help keep your mind sharp.

In fact, a University of Massachusetts Lowell (UML) study showed that apples and apple juice may be among the best foods that anyone of any age could add to their diet. UML researchers discovered that drinking apple juice may boost the brain's production of the essential neurotransmitter *acetylcholine*, resulting in improved memory.

Dr. Thomas Shea, director of the UML Center for Cellular Neurobiology and Neurodegeneration research said, "We anticipate that the day may come when foods like apples, apple juice and other apple products are recommended along with the most popular Alzheimer's medications."
