  • A comprehensive study reveals that higher consumption of red meat, particularly processed red meat, is associated with an increased risk of cognitive decline and dementia, urging dietary changes for improved brain health.

A recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has linked the consumption of red meat, particularly processed varieties, with an increased risk of cognitive decline and dementia. The research, which analyzed data from over 10,000 participants over a span of 12 years, found that individuals who consumed higher amounts of red meat experienced a faster rate of cognitive decline compared to those who consumed less. The study suggests that replacing red meat with plant-based protein sources like nuts, legumes, and whole grains could potentially reduce the risk of cognitive impairment. This finding adds to the growing body of evidence that dietary choices play a significant role in brain health and the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases.
