The influence of nutrition on brain aging: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

Purpose: Aging is characterized by a progressive decline in physiological functions, including those of the brain. As individuals age, cognitive and emotional functionalities are subject to change, Consequently, it is essential to consider both cognitive abilities and emotional functioning when examining the effects of aging on the brain.

Objectives: The objective is to synthesize current scientific evidence on the relationship between nutrition and brain aging, with a specific focus on cognitive abilities as a measure of brain function.

Methodology: A systematic review was conducted on nine studies. The PRISMA statement standards were adhered to in this systematic review.

Findings: The findings showed how important it is for people to change their diets to prevent the onset and progression of various comorbidities and to encourage healthy aging. The findings of the study included in this Comprehensive review indicate that good aging and a higher quality of life may be achieved by abstaining from bad behaviors, particularly those related to food.

Conclusions: The current body of study indicates a relationship between nutrition and brain aging, but additional studies are necessary to expand our understanding of these complex interactions and to develop clear dietary recommendations to support cognitive health across the lifespan.
