The Brain's Response to Diet.

Scientists are calling for a consensus on which cognitive tests to use when assessing the impact of nutrition on brain function. They recommend reducing the number of tests and standardizing reporting guidelines, which could enable researchers to pool data and make more confident decisions about how diet affects cognition over the life course. Optimizing nutrition can maintain and possibly even enhance cognitive functions known to be affected by aging, such as memory and processing speed. Evidence has shown that nutrition is associated with changes in cognition from before we are born into our old age.
