Mind Science Centre has collaborated with NUH Memory Clinic and NUH Dietetics to create a “Food for the Mind” booklet focusing on nutrition for healthy ageing. This publication serves as a reminder to inculcate healthy eating habits and to adopt a varied and nutritious diet.<\/p>\n

As life expectancies increase, the need to promote and identify factors related to healthy ageing becomes more important than ever. A core feature of ageing is neurodegeneration, the progressive loss of neurons in the brain, which leads to cognitive decline and in severe cases, dementia. Although neurodegeneration is largely a biological process, our lifestyle choices are likely to make an impact on the maintenance of brain health.<\/p>\n

The brain consumes approximately 20% of the energy produced by the food we eat \u2013 greater than any other organ in the body. Diets consisting of high quality and nutrient-dense foods have been shown to stave off the process of neurodegeneration and development of chronic cardiovascular diseases \u2013 which are also risk factors of neurodegeneration. This means that the quantity and varieties of food we supply the brain with impact how sharp and alert our minds are.<\/p>\n
