Cutting the Calories and Eating the Right Brain Food

One of the main reasons to cut the calories is to slow down the brain cells rapid decline. A study conducted by the University of Florida on lab rats on a specific food diet (40% restricted calorie-intake) turned out that the rats had higher levels of beneficial protein that protects against neuron death.

In a twist of brain food irony, another group of US researchers have found out that people who consume folic acid or folate supplements in large doses may end up in a faster state of mental decline when older. So too much of a good thing is really bad for you, make sure take supplements in moderation and never in heavy dosages.
