Recent research indicates that increasing the intake of flavonoid-rich foods significantly reduces the risk of dementia, particularly among those already at high risk. According to the study, adding six servings per day of items like berries and tea could decrease dementia risk by 28%.
Flavonoids are active compounds mainly found in a variety of plant-based foods, including fruits and vegetables. They offer a variety of health benefits due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties. These compounds are associated with a lower risk of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, and are known to enhance cognitive function. Additionally, flavonoids contribute to health by reducing inflammation, enhancing the function of blood vessels, and possibly supporting the growth of new brain cells.
In a large cohort study, dietary data from more than 120,000 adults aged 40 to 70 years, sourced from the UK Biobank, were analyzed by researchers. The findings bolster previous studies highlighting the impact of flavonoids in slowing cognitive decline. The results suggest that adding more flavonoid-rich foods to one's diet may be an effective strategy for lowering the risk of dementia.
The global prevalence of dementia is increasing rapidly. At present, there are no effective treatments or cures for the disease. As a result, preventive measures aimed at enhancing health and quality of life, and reducing social and economic burdens, remain a critical public health priority.

Flavonoid-Rich Foods, Dementia Risk, and Interactions With Genetic Risk, Hypertension, and Depression
While diet and exercise often steal the spotlight in weight management discussions, one crucial, modifiable factor that is frequently overlooked is your sleep pattern. Its influence on weight, body composition, and overall metabolic health is surprisingly powerful and well-supported by research.
Electromagnetic frequencies (EMF) are invisible areas of energy, produced by electricity and various natural or man-made sources, categorized into non-ionizing (low-level) and ionizing (high-level) radiation. The rapid expansion of wireless technologies over the past two decades has dramatically increased everyday exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields, driven by widespread smartphone adoption, Wi-Fi networks, and the rollout of 5G infrastructure.
In recent decades, ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption has surged across many parts of the world, alongside a notable increase in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) cases. A recent study sheds new light on the mechanisms by which ultra-processed foods physically affect the digestive tract.
