Boost Brain Health: 6 Foods That Cut Dementia Risk, Says Study

  • Diet plays a critical role in lowering dementia risk and maintaining long-term brain health, beyond just age factors.
  • Dr. Avinash Rao emphasizes that the brain needs constant nutrients, as bad eating can speed inflammation and neuron damage.
  • Six key nutrients identified to reduce dementia risk: Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Vitamin D, B Vitamins, Antioxidants, Magnesium, and Polyphenols.
  • These nutrients support memory, cognition, nerve health, reduce inflammation, and protect brain cells from damage.
  • A well-balanced, whole-foods diet is crucial for brain health, rather than relying solely on off-the-shelf supplements.
