There is quite a heart-brain connection. What's good for the heart is very often good for the brain. And when it comes to heart disease, we have found that it's not just the fat and cholesterol intake, particularly saturated fat and cholesterol, but it's also the type of protein that you're eating. Protein can drive up cholesterol levels if it comes from the wrong sources. And we have found out the worst protein for raising your cholesterol is in red meat. The second worst protein is in poultry. The third worst protein is in dairy. And the fourth is in fish. The best protein, however, that will lower your risk of coronary heart disease and help your brain is in nuts. And the very best are legumes and beans.
