The invention discloses a medicinal and edible composition for delaying cognitive and memory function decline of old people, which comprises a fructus piperis longi extract, a radix asparagi extract and
sodium hyaluronate, and is combined with highland barley,
common turnip, maca, D-
psicose and other active substances to prepare the medicinal and edible composition for delaying cognitive and memory function decline of old people. A series of medicinal and edible compositions for improving cognitive and memory function decline of old people are developed. The composition disclosed by the invention has a good protective effect in delaying senile cognitive and memory function decline, can be applied to senile cognitive and memory function decline accompanied by age increase, enhances the activity of
telomerase, and improves
neurotransmitter homeostasis and brain health.
Molecular mechanism research shows that the compound can reverse
senescence of neuronal cells of
hippocampus by activating key targets in a
phosphatidylinositol-3-
kinase /
protein kinase B
signal channel. The composition can be used for being developed into food and health care products for improving attention, learning ability, language ability and judgment, has safety and effectiveness, and has a very good application prospect.
