Can you reverse brain shrinkage? You may be able to with 5 Mediterranean foods in your diet that could give you five fewer years of brain shrinkage. Researchers are looking at an association between eating a Mediterranean diet and losing fewer brain cells because of less oxidative stress and aging. People that followed the healthy diet had larger brain volume than those who did not. Brain shrinkage is correlated to dementia and Alzheimer's.
What was the difference in brain volume between groups? "Those who followed the Mediterranean diet had brain volume that was 13.11 milliliters larger than those who did not follow the Mediterranean diet. Gray matter volume was 5.0 milliliters larger and white matter volume was 6.41 milliliters larger." (October 23, 2015 source: American Academy of Neurology News)What are the 5 foods should you eat?
Plan your shopping and recipes around in-season and organic vegetables, legumes, fruits, whole grain cereals (except if you have leaky gut issues), low-contaminated fish if you can find a reputable distributor and monounsaturated fatty acids like: olive oil, avocado oil and sesame oil.
If you're already eating a Mediterranean diet, and the 5 foods that support brain health, give yourself a star! If you're not, start by making just one change, like switching to olive oil or eating low-contaminant fish twice a week.
Have low intake of saturated fatty acids, dairy products, red meat and poultry plus keep alcohol to a minimum. They are usually referring to red wine in the studies.
