Key Nutrients in Mediterranean Diet Linked to Slower Brain Aging

A study from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign links specific nutrients found in the Mediterranean diet to slower brain aging and better cognitive performance. The research, which combined brain imaging, blood biomarkers, and cognitive assessments, identified a nutrient profile associated with healthier brain aging. This study could pave the way for future nutritional interventions to promote brain health and prevent cognitive decline.
