Most of us find, at certain times, that we cannot remember what we went up the stairs for, what we were going to say, or even someone’s name that we should know. But, did you ever wonder how our nutrition can impact on our memory and cognitive function?
Research has demonstrated that saturated and trans fats found in dairy products, meats, pastries and fried foods can increase our risk for cognitive decline, whereas consuming a plant-based diet protects our brain health. Some foods help with our memory and some can make it worse.
