Cercetătorii au identificat un obicei alimentar care ar putea proteja creierul la bătrânețe. Care sunt concluziile unui nou studiu

Researchers suggest that limiting meals to a nine-hour window and avoiding food four hours before bedtime may help prevent cognitive decline in older adults. A pilot study on overweight women showed improved mental abilities in those who restricted their eating schedule. While the findings are preliminary, they indicate that a time-restricted diet could protect cognitive functions. Weight loss alone may also contribute to slowing cognitive decline. The study involved 47 women aged 50-79, with one group eating within a nine-hour window and the other over 12 hours. Both groups lost similar weight, but cognitive tests revealed better performance in the restricted group. Experts call for further research to confirm these promising results.
