Feed Your Brain: The Surprising Foods That Fight Stroke and Alzheimer’s
Discover how simple dietary choices can protect your brain and keep your mind sharp for years to come.
The brain is our most precious organ, yet it is vulnerable to damage from poor diet and lifestyle. Stroke remains a leading cause of death and disability, but increasing fiber intake by just seven grams daily can reduce stroke risk by 7%.
Alzheimer’s disease, a form of dementia, is increasingly linked to vascular health. Plaque buildup in brain arteries reduces blood flow, starving neurons and accelerating cognitive decline.
Antioxidant-rich foods like berries provide powerful neuroprotection. Regular consumption has been shown to delay memory loss by up to two and a half years. These polyphenols neutralize free radicals and support neuronal health.
Other lifestyle factors such as aerobic exercise and adequate sleep complement dietary benefits, improving blood flow and brain resilience.
By feeding your brain with fiber, antioxidants, and healthy habits, you build a fortress against cognitive decline. Our next blog will explore how diet protects the digestive system from cancer and promotes gut health.
