Studies Highlight Diet's Role in Brain Health

Recent studies highlight the significant role of diet in influencing brain health and cognitive decline. A study from the University of California suggests that the keto diet may delay mild cognitive impairment and potentially postpone Alzheimer's disease by enhancing brain communication. Meanwhile, research from Italy warns against ultra-processed foods (UPFs), linking them to accelerated biological aging and metabolic harm. Additionally, the 'green' Mediterranean diet, which emphasizes plant-based foods and polyphenols, shows promise in reducing high blood sugar levels and slowing brain aging, as revealed by studies from Israeli and international researchers. Dr. Franklin Joseph also emphasizes the importance of incorporating omega-3 rich foods, leafy greens, and berries into diets to support cognitive function and combat Alzheimer's. These findings collectively underscore the potential of specific dietary changes to mitigate the risks of cognitive decline and dementia.
