Supplements are all well and good, but nothing beats eating a whole food. Special nutrients found in whole foods like selenium, beta-carotene, and others work to slow cognitive decline. These are rarely found in supplements. A supplement will never be the most comprehensive, efficient way of giving your body the nutrients it needs. Take a tomato, for example. Just one tomato has over 200 different kinds of carotenoids and 200 different flavonoids!
Whole foods will always be your best source of nutrition, no matter what, and people who live the longest make it a point to eat well.
