The study, conducted by Harvard researchers and presented at the American Society for Nutrition's Nutrition 2023 conference, found that those who used olive oil in place of condiments such as mayonnaise, had a lowered risk of dying from dementia.
, tells Yahoo Life. "Oxidative stress is a key factor in the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, which is the most common form of dementia. From this perspective, the study's findings make sense: Antioxidants in olive oil could potentially help protect the brain by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation."
"Some antioxidant compounds in olive oil can cross the blood-brain barrier, potentially having a direct effect on the brain," lead author of the study and registered dietitian, a postdoctoral researcher at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, tells Yahoo Life. However, Sachdev notes that diet does have a big impact on brain health, especially with blood vessel health in the brain. "Blood vessel problems lead to strokes and white matter changes, which can cause dementia symptoms," he explains.Dementia is a complicated condition, and, as of now, there is no definitive treatment or method that researchers have discovered that can prevent it.
