Eat dementia away!

Abstract

Nutrition has only recently been studied for its protective role in cognition. In order to find which nutrients are the key players for maintaining optimal mental health, a thorough bibliographic review of recent literature was conducted. Water, some fats (n-3 PUFAs), vitamins, minerals, and polyphenols were shown to play an essential role, mainly due to their role in brain development, their participation in neural mechanisms, and their antioxidant properties. The Mediterranean Diet is rich in these elements and is better for the brain than diets with high sugar and saturated fat.
