Summary:
- The study found that a "green Mediterranean diet" can slow down brain aging and improve cognitive function compared to a regular Mediterranean diet or a healthy diet.
- The "green Mediterranean diet" includes more plant-based foods, less red meat, and incorporates specific healthy foods like green tea, walnuts, and Mankai (a type of duckweed).
- This diet helps protect the brain by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, which are linked to age-related cognitive decline.
