Eat more food as a teenager and be smarter in middle age.

Original title: Eat more vegetables as teenagers, more shrewd in middle age
We already know that health is closely related to eating habits, and a new study has found that the health of ad age diet also directly affects the intelligence, cognitive ability and other conditions in middle and old age.
the study was published in the professional journal Neurology. The study lasted more than 20 years and involved more than 2,600 volunteers, with the average age of the first volunteers to take part in the test being about 25. From the beginning of the study to the 7th and 20th years after the relevant tests, they showed significant differences in cognitive ability testing. The results show that eating more heart-healthy foods in ad age may have an impact on cognitive performance in middle age.
"healthy diet" here mainly refers to less meat and more vegetables. The researchers specifically studied the "Mediterranean diet" that eats large amounts of vegetables and fruits, medium amounts of fish, nuts and small amounts of meat. They believe that light diet has a good protective effect on the brain. In particular, people who followed a healthy diet strictly were 46 percent more likely to think in middle age than those who failed to adhere to healthy eating habits.
most notably, the average daily fruit and vegetable intake of volunteers with higher cognitive levels was also relatively high.
of course, this study only proves that there is a link between healthy eating habits and cognitive abilities, and does not necessarily mean that a healthy diet ensures better awareness in middle age. There are many health factors, but maintaining healthier eating habits at a young age can be beneficial to all aspects of the situation in old age. (Jianping)
