Low Carb and Older Brains

[Martin.A]

Read an article a few days ago that claimed that recent research suggests that in older people a low carb diet is better for the brain, as the neurons in older brains are more receptive to fats as a source of energy than glucose, to the extent that age-related brain deterioration can be slowed. If so, another good reason for a LCHF diet for us oldies.

If you believe it, that is........

I'm choosing to believe it. Any good health news at the moment is very welcome. Thanks for sharing.

I suspect as with most things that have not been solved, it is quite complex.
Also as I understand the conditions known under the umbrella of Dementia, are a variety of conditions.
