Plant Compounds in Berries, Tea, and Cocoa May Support Healthy Brain Aging

A Semmelweis University review found polyphenol-rich foods may support healthy brain aging.

Plant compounds in tea, berries, cocoa, olive oil, and curcumin may protect nerve cells through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

The review links these compounds to possible benefits for Alzheimer’s-related processes and age-related cognitive decline.

Gut bacteria appear to shape how polyphenols work, and Mediterranean and MIND diets are rich in them.

No single food can prevent dementia, but polyphenol-rich diets may help support brain health.
