Memory decline also occurs with ageing an brain activation becomes more bilateral for memory tasks.  The Brain and Ageing At least 25 studies have demonstrated that  DNA damage  accumulates with age in the mammalian brain. Ageing  is a major risk factor for most common  neurodegenerative  diseases, including  mild cognitive impairment ,  dementias  including  Alzheimer's disease ,  cerebrovascular disease ,  Parkinson's disease  and  Lou Gehrig's disease .

Resveratrol:  A miraculous natural compound for diseases treatment Resveratrol is a nonflavonoid polyphenol that naturally occurs as phytoalexin. It is produced by plant sources such as grapes, apples, blueberries, plums, and peanut. This compound has critical roles in human health and is well known for its diverse biological activities such as antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory properties. Nowadays, due to rising incidence of different diseases such as cancer and diabetes, efforts to find novel and effective disease‐protective agents have led to the identification of plant‐derived compounds such as resveratrol. Furthermore, several in vitro and in vivo studies have revealed the effectiveness of resveratrol in various diseases such as diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, obesity, inflammatory, neurodegenerative, and age‐related diseases.  Resveratrol is a phenolic micronutrient compound that is formed naturally by 70 different plant species...
