Eating cheese and drinking red wine might help combat dementia symptoms, according to Iowa State University research. The study, involving nearly 1,800 Brits aged 46 to 77, found that daily red wine and cheese, along with weekly lamb, reduced dementia risk. Cheese emerged as the most protective food, and red wine also showed benefits. Conversely, high salt intake was linked to impaired cognitive function. Researchers noted that dietary adjustments could offer significant brain health benefits, though more clinical trials are needed. Here’s the full story.
