How To
How does the Mediterranean Diet support brain health?
Mediterranean eating is a way to eat a lot of fruits, vegetables and legumes. It also includes healthy fats and a low intake of red meat and added sugar. It has been linked to many health benefits - including better brain health. The Mediterranean Diet has been shown to reduce dementia risk and slow down age-related cognitive decline. It may improve mood and offer protection against oxidative stress as well.
Numerous aspects of the Mediterranean Diet support brain health as well as cognitive decline. The most significant benefit comes from consuming large amounts of antioxidant-rich plant foods such as fruits and vegetables, which provide essential vitamins and minerals for healthy neurological functioning. Additionally, monounsaturated fat from sources like olive oil contributes to maintaining adequate omega-3 levels in the body--a critical component in optimal brain functioning. Limiting processed carbohydrates can also help improve mental clarity. It stabilizes blood glucose levels throughout the day, and reduces inflammation related to chronic diseases like Alzheimer's and stroke.
A Mediterranean diet with plenty of fresh fruits and veggies, lean proteins such as fish or poultry, whole grains, olive oil and moderate dairy consumption will help maintain adequate nutrition to prevent cognitive decline. In addition, regular vigorous exercise will strengthen serotonin, which is a key component of mental well being. These tips will increase your chances for good mental health and physical well-being into old age.
