The new study says a low-protein, high-carbon water diet benefits the brain

high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet is often the first choice for fitness enthusiasts. But a low-protein, high-carbohydrate diet may be a key factor in longevity, especially for brain health, according to a new Australian study.
Researchers at the Charles Perkins Center at the University of Sydney in Australia, in a new paper published in the journal Cell Reports, say that by feeding laboratory mice a low-protein, high-carbon water diet, their overall health, especially in the brain, improved, and their learning and memory skills improved.
, lead author of the paper, said in a statement: "There is currently no effective drug treatment for Alzheimer's disease, and we can delay but not stop it. So it's exciting to find a diet that can affect brain aging.
previous studies have shown that controlling calorie intake can prolong a mouse's life and benefit its brain health, but this approach is not sustainable for humans, especially in countries with adequate food supplies.
in the new study, Wall et al. grouped the mice and fed them low-calorie foods, low-protein, high-carbon water foods, and regular foods, among which the low-protein, high-carbon water diet group of laboratory mice could eat unlimited amounts. They focused their research on the body of the sea mass to assess the brain benefits of different diets.
is the area of the brain responsible for learning and memory, and is usually the first part of the brain to be attacked by neurological degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's.
study showed that a low-protein, high-carbon water diet improved the health of the brain mema of laboratory mice. From some measurements, the benefits of this diet are even greater than those of a low-calorie diet.
David Lekut, who led the study, said a low-protein, high-carbon water diet was not a new trend and had been around for a long time in Okinawa, Japan, and many parts of the Mediterranean. In Okinawa's traditional diet, protein accounts for only 9% of the total, mainly from less fat fish, beans and a little beef, while carbohydrates come mainly from sweet potatoes.
