New Research on Diet & Brain Health 🥦
Few diagnoses strike more fear in people than the word 'dementia.' So, what if making just a couple of small dietary changes could significantly reduce your risk?
A study of 1,000+ older adults in Greece over ~3 years found that a diet rich in polyphenols - especially lignans, flavonols and isoflavonoids from foods like leafy greens, pulses and cruciferous veggies - was linked to improved health outcomes such as:
✅ Slower cognitive decline
✅ 71% lower risk of dementia
The takeaway? What you eat may help protect your brain as you age. More studies are needed, but the results are promising! So, EAT YOUR (organic) VEGGIES! See the comments for additional details on which veggies.
