Green tea, as seen in this filepic, is one of the flavonoid-rich foods that might help stave off dementia. A cup a day should be sufficient.

New American research has found that older adults who include plenty of flavonoid-rich foods in their diet, such as berries, apples and tea, may have a lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
