"Japanese Diet: A Potential Defense Against Dementia"

A study from Japan's National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology suggests that a traditional Japanese diet, rich in fish, tea, soybeans, and other specific foods, may protect against brain shrinkage and reduce the risk of dementia, particularly in women. The study compared brain scans of individuals following a traditional Japanese diet with those following a Western diet over a two-year period. The findings highlight the potential benefits of the Japanese diet for brain health and overall well-being, emphasizing the importance of incorporating elements such as fish, seafood, soy, miso, seaweed, and shiitake mushrooms.
