When it comes to protecting your brain, you’d probably do just about anything.
Because without a sharp mind in your golden years, you can lose your memory… personality… and even your independence.
That’s why you never miss your evening walk and always do the Sunday crossword.
But there’s something else you NEED to do if you want to keep a healthy brain.
It’s my #1 brain health secret… and research shows it could be the key to staying sharp no matter your age.
*****
A new study, published in the journal Neurology, shows having a bigger waistline before you turn 60 could be an indicator of accelerated brain aging.
The study involved 1,289 people who had their BMI measured at the beginning of this study along with MRI brain scans to measure the thickness of the cortex of the brain.
Here is what the researchers found: folks with bigger waistlines have more thinning in the memory and learning region of their brains called the cortex.
That means as fat goes up in your body, cortex brain matter goes down.
The cortex of your brain is a small outside layer and the most highly developed part of your brain. Most information processing goes on here. Your cortex is responsible for thinking, understanding language, and perception.
In other words, if you lose your cortex… you also lose all the things that make you who you are.
Keeping your weight under control is a good first step.
And you can do that by eating more high-protein foods like grass-fed beef, wild-caught seafood, and nuts.
You see, protein helps you feel fuller and lowers your cravings because it takes more energy to digest than any other types of food.
Even better? Protein also helps build muscle mass–which pushes your metabolism into overdrive.
So if you’re worried about your brain, start getting more protein today!
