A study published in Clinical Nutrition suggests that following a green-Mediterranean diet, which includes green tea and Mankai, may slow brain aging by reducing certain proteins associated with accelerated brain aging, highlighting the potential benefits of diet on cognitive health.
An 18-month international study suggests that a Green Mediterranean diet, which enhances blood sugar control, can slow brain aging and reduce cognitive decline risks. The study, part of the DIRECT PLUS Brain MRI trial, found that improved glycemic control is linked to positive changes in brain regions affected by age-related atrophy. The diet, rich in polyphenols from plant-based sources, may protect brain structure and function, offering a potential pathway to mitigate age-related cognitive decline.
A study from Ben-Gurion University found that a Green Mediterranean Diet can slow brain aging, with a 1% reduction in body weight making the brain appear nearly 9 months younger over an 18-month period. The study offers a potential method for slowing obesity-driven brain aging and a strategy for evaluating lifestyle changes’ impact on brain health. The Green Mediterranean Diet is distinct from the traditional Mediterranean diet because of its more abundant dietary polyphenols and lower red/processed meat.
