Researchers from Ben-Gurion University have shown dramatic results when examining the link between a healthy diet and delayed brain aging. A green Mediterranean diet, rich in polyphenols (plant-based food compounds) but low in red and processed meat, may slow age-related brain degeneration, according to the study.
Increased consumption of green tea, green water plant daquid, and walnuts along with reduced consumption of red and processing meat have been significantly associated with a slowdown in brain anatomical markers.
