Adults who eat a healthy plant-based diet — focusing on whole, minimally processed foods such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds — might have a lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, even if they start the diet later in life.
The study published in Neurology analysed data from nearly 93,000 adults with an average age of 59. Researchers tracked their diets and health outcomes over more than a decade.
