A recent study by Ben-Gurion University of the Negev has found that the green Mediterranean diet can slow brain aging by 50%. The study reveals a crucial link between blood sugar management and brain health, suggesting that specific dietary interventions could help mitigate cognitive decline associated with aging. The research, published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, highlights the importance of blood sugar control in protecting the brain. The study found that lifestyle interventions, particularly diet, can significantly reduce age-related brain atrophy. The Mediterranean diet emphasizes vegetables, fruits, nuts, olive oil, green tea, whole grains, and avocado, and is low in sugar and red meat.
