"The Protective Power of the Traditional Japanese Diet Against Dementia and Brain Aging"
TL;DR
New research suggests that following a traditional Japanese diet, which includes foods like seafood, miso, mushrooms, and green tea, may be beneficial for staving off dementia and cognitive decline, particularly for women. A study found that women who followed this diet had less brain shrinkage compared to those following a typical Western diet, while men did not show the same difference. The traditional Japanese diet is high in polyphenols, phytochemicals, and unsaturated fatty acids, which can help lower inflammation in the body and support brain health.
