Improved blood sugar control and a Green Mediterranean diet may slow brain aging. This large study highlights dietary interventions as a promising approach to preserving brain health.
Brain atrophy, marked by the gradual loss of neurons and shrinking of brain tissue, is a normal part of aging and can contribute to cognitive decline and other neurological challenges. While aging itself remains unavoidable, recent research from an 18-month dietary intervention provides promising evidence that lifestyle and dietary adjustments may help slow the brain’s aging process.
A new international study, led by Ben-Gurion University of the Negev as part of the DIRECT PLUS Brain MRI trial, has brought to light how blood sugar control can significantly impact brain health.
