Psychology Today reports that a large-scale study performed at Iowa State University and published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease has found a link between diet choices and one’s degree of cognitive ability later in life. The findings suggest that Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive decline may be preventable, or at least minimized or slowed down, for those who consume cheese, a responsible amount of alcohol and lamb daily and those who use less salt. A large emphasis is placed on responsible alcohol consumption, defined as one drink for women and two for men. Although genetic factors play a big role in the development of Alzheimer’s disease, these researchers found that diet may also have a significant influence on cognitive health over time.
