Study finds diet may contribute to cognitive resilience in elderly

New Delhi, Sep 23 (ANI): A new study has found that older adults may benefit from a specific diet called the MIND diet, even when they develop protein deposits known as amyloid plaques and tangles. The findings of the study were published in the 'Journal of Alzheimer's Disease'.Ageing takes a toll on the body and on the mind. For example, the tissue of ageing human brains sometimes develops abnormal clumps of proteins that are the hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. Plaques and tangles are a pathology found in the brain that builds up in between nerve cells and typically interfere with thinking and problem-solving skills.
