DASH Diet Linked to Lower Risk for Subjective Cognitive Decline

Summary: Want to keep your brain sharp as you get older? A massive study of over 150,000 adults—mostly women and nurses—found that eating a healthy diet can protect your memory. The best diet for your brain is the DASH diet, which was originally made to lower blood pressure. People who followed the DASH diet the closest had a 41% lower risk of feeling like their memory was slipping. They also did better on tests for memory and speaking skills. Eating lots of veggies and fish helps your brain stay quick. On the other hand, eating red meat, sugary drinks, and fried potatoes can actually make your memory worse. So, eating well in your 40s is a great way to protect your brain later in life!
