The foods you now eat can have an impact on your cognition down the road. And, according to the results of a new study, eating cheese and drinking red wine may actually give your brain a boost.
The study, which was published in the
Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, analyzed data over a 10-year period from 1,787 people between the ages of 46 and 77 in the U.K. Biobank, a large-scale biomedical database and research resource. The researchers specifically looked at participants’ fluid intelligence test (FIT) which provides a snapshot of a person’s ability to think quickly when they started the study and again in two follow-up assessments. Researchers also analyzed their diet and alcohol consumption over time.
