The results of a study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that processed meat and sugary carbonated drinks are the products most strongly associated with cognitive decline (memory impairment) in elderly people.
Study details:
– Over 5,000 Americans over the age of 55 were observed for 7 years.
– Their eating habits were studied and memory was assessed using special tests.
Risk indicators:
– Consuming one serving of processed meat per day increases the risk of memory problems by 17%.
– Each carbonated drink adds an extra 6% risk.
– Those who regularly consumed both experienced cognitive decline more quickly.
Experts' recommendations:
– Reduce processed meat intake.
– Eat more homemade healthy meals.
– Replace carbonated drinks with plain water.
According to scientists, simple dietary changes can reduce the risk of memory decline and the development of dementia.
