A 10-year study has found that people who consume at least 400 micrograms of folate a day experienced a 55 pecent lower risk of developing the disease.

The study revealed that folate reduces blood levels of homocysteine, a substance that can injure brain cells.

Foods rich in folate include oranges, broccoli, spinach and bananas.
