ASSASSINATE memory troubles with this dark fruit

It was a sad day when we recently found out that we’d lost legendary actor Sean Connery…

But it was absolutely HEARTBREAKING to discover that in his final months, he was RAVAGED by dementia.

Known best for portraying James Bond in several beloved films, Connery EMBODIED the strength… wit… and sex appeal of Agent 007.

But he’d stepped away from the spotlight in his last few years… sparing our memories of him in his prime, as his own memory began to fade.

If dementia could take down the man who portrayed Hollywood’s most infamous international spy… well, that doesn’t bode very well for everyday folks like you and me.

We don’t know what was going on “behind the scenes” with Mr. Connery and his care…

But we do know that there are ways to SLOW cognitive decline… and even IMPROVE cognitive function.

Here’s one you should know about.

A double-edged sword against dementia

The Japanese plum (Prunus salicina) is far more popular in Asia than it is in this country…

Not only as a tasty fruit, but also as medicine.

These Asian plums are PACKED with antioxidants … like anthocyanins…

And the latest findings how these plant pigments… also found in dark-colored berries… can help DEFEND against dementia.

Because they can beat back oxidative stress and damage, it’s no wonder that animal studies have shown how consuming these plums has been linked to IMPROVED spatial learning and memory.

And it appears that the MORE the study subjects consume… the BETTER the results.

Specifically, it appears as though Japanese plum works by CURTAILING 2 major sources of both oxidation and inflammation…

Namely, high blood sugar and cholesterol accumulation in the brain.

In fact, in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Japanese plum is used not only as an anti-inflammatory to “clear heat”…

But also to treat diabetes!

And as I’ve shared with you before, the type of dementia known as Alzheimer’s disease has been nicknamed “type 3 diabetes” because of the connection between sugar and memory loss.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Japanese plums are known as “Li Zi” or “lizi plums”… or by the Latin name, Fructus Pruni Salicinae.

In this country, you might find them sold as “oriental plums” or “Chinese plums”… in fresh or dried forms… at your local Asian specialty grocer. You may also find them as a juice.

You can also get LOTS of anthocyanins by eating fresh blueberries… blackberries… acai… and more…

Or by supplementing with extracts of blueberry… bilberry… blackcurrant or aronia. Look for a product that’s been standardized to contain a certain percentage of anthocyanins.
