How to combat brain aging? Eating strawberries and spinach, responds James Joseph, a Washington researcher. These foods contain antioxidants to neutralize harmful molecules (free radicals) that intervene in the aging of tissues. Free radicals contain one or more free electrons in their outer layer.

To modify free covalent chemical bonds, these unpaired electrons tend to be combined with electrons for adjacent molecules, thus disrupting surrounding cells. We know that cellular destruction has to do with aging of tissues, but at the same time control of movements and memory is less.
