4- Durian Fruit Has Brain-Protective Effects
Recent research suggests that durian fruit can have positive neurological effects due to its high levels of certain essential nutrients like vitamin B6, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and folate – all of which play an important role in maintaining healthy brain function. For example, folate helps to protect against age-related cognitive decline as well as depression. Vitamin B6 is involved in producing serotonin and dopamine – two chemicals associated with mood regulation. Thiamin supports memory formation while niacin helps with alertness. (3)
