THIS superfood boosts brain health, reduces dementia risk, shows Harvard study: Check how doctors consume it every day

Live Mint  

A recent Harvard study has identified one superfood that enhances brain health while also reducing the risk of dementia in those who consume it daily. According to a 2024 Harvard study, participants who consumed at least 7 grams of olive oil per day, regardless of genetic predisposition and overall diet, had a 28 per cent lower risk of dementia-related death than those who never or rarely consumed olive oil. Here's how Sogol Ash says she incorporates olive oil into her daily life: Take a shot — one to two tablespoons — of high-quality, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, either first thing in the morning or as a mid-afternoon boost. As in the Mediterranean diet, you can snack on sliced cucumbers with a drizzle of olive oil, fresh lemon juice and a pinch of sea salt.
