In this episode of Nutrition Science Bites I talk with Dr Puja Agarwal about the relationship between nutrition, brain health and dementia. We discuss the MIND diet, which combines elements of both the Mediterranean and DASH diets. Our conversation covers the definition of dementia, its prevalence, risk factors, and the importance of modifiable factors such as diet. Dr. Agarwal shares insights from her research, highlighting how specific dietary patterns can reduce the risk of dementia and improve cognitive health. We concludes with practical advice on incorporating brain friendly foods into daily meals.
