, and the DASH diet are ideal eating patterns for optimizing brain health, says Moon. “These are all predominantly plant-based eating patterns that provide abundant antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients that keep neurons thriving on a cellular level.”
Still, brain health is not just about individual foods; it’s about an overall dietary pattern, says Porter. While the Mediterranean diet is often highlighted for its cognitive benefits due to its rich array of antioxidants and healthy fats, it’s important to consider the protective effects of a diet rich in varied nutrients, he continues.
Still, keep in mind that snacking on a lot of cheddar isn’t necessarily the answer. Eating patterns, such as the MIND diet, suggest limiting, but not eliminating, cheese intake, Moon says.
