“While a healthy diet is important in maintaining brain health among older adults, the most important dietary choices for your brain remain unclear,”
“We found that increased consumption of ultra-processed foods was associated with a higher risk of both stroke and cognitive impairment, and the association between ultra-processed foods and stroke was greater among Black participants.”
“Our findings show that the degree of food processing plays an important role in overall brain health,”
“More research is needed to confirm these results and to better understand which food or processing components contribute most to these effects.”
