Elevated homocysteine levels are associated with increased risk of stroke, cognitive impairment, and Alzheimer's disease. Vitamin D: Often associated with bone health, vitamin D also plays an important role in brain health. Low levels of vitamin D have been linked to a greater risk of developing neurological disorders.
