XKA new study suggests that a diet low in inflammatory foods may reduce the risk of developing dementia, even among individuals showing early biological signs of Alzheimer’s disease. The research, published in the scientific journal 'JAMA Network Open,' followed over 1,800 people aged 60 and older in Sweden who initially did not have dementia. Over a period of up to 15 years, 240 participants were diagnosed with dementia. Dr. Leana Wen, a CNN health expert, explained that those following a diet with lower inflammatory potential had a reduced risk of dementia. She noted that while there is no officially recognized 'anti-inflammatory' diet, this approach involves eating more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and seeds, while limiting processed foods, sugary drinks, and red meat. This diet resembles the Mediterranean diet. However, Wen emphasized that the study was observational and does not prove that the diet prevents dementia. She recommended additional healthy habits such as regular physical activity, blood pressure control, managing cholesterol levels, avoiding smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, getting enough sleep, and staying mentally active through learning and social
