Podcast Summary
A conversation with Max Lugavere exploring the best diet for brain health. Max believes that we have control over our cognitive destiny and that we need to challenge the narrative that our brain health will decline with age. They discuss the Mediterranean-DASH Diet Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND), and hone in on what Max considers to be ‘genius’ foods for the brain including healthy fats (especially avocados and extra virgin olive oil) and those not so beneficial such as processed foods and seed oils. They also discuss what could be considered controversial to some, such the consumption of red meat and dairy and how best to include these in the diet to optimise brain health.
