A recent study on high-calorie diets found that the probability of exhibiting mild cognitive impairment (MCI) dramatically increase for individuals consuming excessive calories. Researchers at the University of Miami also found that patients experiencing cognitive impairment show increased memory test scores when reducing their carbohydrate intake.
Slated to be presented before the American Academy of Neurology, the study shows that ingesting between 2,100 and 6,000 calories per day can double the risk of cognitive impairment for individuals over 70 even after adjusting the results for patient history of stroke, education, and diabetes.
Additionally, researchers note that incremental reductions of carbohydrate intake, specifically of foods with a high glycemic index such as high-fructose corn syrup, can decrease brain inflammation.
Other recommendations include increasing Omega-3 fatty acids and taking a B-complex vitamin with high levels of B6 and B12, which help retain brain volume.
