High-Protein Diet Linked to Better Sleep Quality, Study Shows

Recent research highlights the importance of diet in promoting cognitive health and improving sleep quality. The MIND diet, which combines elements of the Mediterranean and DASH diets, emphasizes a high intake of vegetables, fruits, and healthy fats to support brain function as we age. Additionally, a study from Japan found that diets high in protein and fiber are linked to better sleep quality, suggesting a connection between nutrition and sleep. Herbal remedies like ginkgo biloba are also being studied for their potential benefits in enhancing memory and cognitive function, particularly for Alzheimer's patients. Foods rich in antioxidants, such as berries and turmeric, along with omega-3 fatty acids from fish, are recommended for brain health. Furthermore, the ketogenic diet is being explored for its potential to preserve brain health due to its unique metabolic effects.
