Israeli researchers have found that age-related brain atrophy can be slowed by the large amount of greens contained in the Mediterranean diet. It contains high levels of polyphenols – nutrients that occur naturally under plants. In addition, the Mediterranean diet is low in red and processed meat, which causes inflammation in all parts of the body, including the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The study involved 284 people aged 31 to 82 years. They were randomly divided into three groups depending on the diet. In one group they followed just a healthy diet, in another – the Mediterranean diet, and in the third – its variety, but with lots of greens. In particular, participants in the third group received 3-4 cups of green tea a day and a cocktail of semolina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All study participants underwent MRI of the brain before and after the experiment. They also went to the gym and exercised. The smallest decrease in age-related cognitive impairment was observed in those who followed both forms of the Mediterranean diet. But it was in the third group with a large amount of greens that the maximum slowing of age-related brain atrophy was observed among participants over 50 years of age who have an increased susceptibility to these pathological processes due to age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
