Diets high in fruits and vegetables and low in meat improve brain functions.

A study from the American Academy of Neurology says your diet affects your brain’s mental and cognitive abilities. Researchers found that eating a lot of fruits and vegetables and small amounts of meat and dairy improved these abilities, specifically thinking and memory skills.

Researchers hope these findings inform healthy diet changes and help people improve or maintain their brain health.
