Dietary Choices and Cognitive Health: Insights for Women's Brain Health
TL;DR Summary
A new study confirms a link between body fat and reduced brain volume, increasing the risk of dementia later in life. The effect is most pronounced in individuals aged 20-39, and women experience a higher correlation between increased abdominal fat and lower brain volume compared to men. Lifestyle changes, including a nutritious diet and regular exercise, can help slow cognitive decline and potentially reverse brain shrinkage. Making conscious choices to nourish both the body and the brain may have a positive impact on brain health.
