“According to the studies conducted by the National Institute of Aging (NIA), foods rich in vitamin E content may aid in protecting individuals against the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) in the case of vitamin E estimates as 22 IU on a daily basis. Although vitamin E supplements offer potential health benefits, dosages higher than 2000 IU in a day may heighten the risk of bleeding due to the anticoagulation property of vitamin E.” Natural Health

We all know that fruits, nuts and green, leafy vegetables are a critical part of a healthy diet, and this study just gives us more proof of what we already know, and more incentive to keep up the good diet.
