Let's not feed our brains just anything

Let's not feed our brains just anything

Although it accounts for only 2% of our body weight, our brain consumes 20% of our energy and 40% of our oxygen. So let's focus on foods that provide it with the fuel it needs.

Our food choices therefore influence the way our brain functions. The Mediterranean diet offers the best results for health and longevity: fish, oilseeds, lean meat, fruit and vegetables.

A study by Harvard's Department of Nutrition in 2024 showed that consuming 7 grams of olive oil a day, the flagship product of the Mediterranean diet, reduced the risk of death from dementia, including Alzheimer's, by 28% compared to those who never or rarely consumed it, irrespective of the quality of the diet.

With plenty of fruit and vegetables, this diet also provides the necessary dose of antioxidants to protect the brain.
