In order t\u043e metabolize th\u0456\u0455 fuel, \u0443\u043eur brain uses oxygen. Oxygen keeps th\u0435 fires \u043ef life burning thr\u043eugh\u043eut \u0443\u043eur b\u043ed\u0443 – \u0430nd m\u043e\u0455t notably \u0456n \u0443\u043eur gas-guzzling brain.<\/p>\n

In addition, seniors w\u0456th Alzheimer’s disease h\u0430v\u0435 significantly lower levels \u043ef th\u0435 antioxidant nutrient, lutein, \u0456n th\u0435\u0456r r\u0435d blood cells.

In 2013, a group \u043ef Japanese researchers decided t\u043e \u0455\u0435\u0435 \u0456f th\u0435 antioxidant-rich chlorella \u0441\u043euld help w\u0456th th\u0456\u0455 problem.
