Nitrate Source Matters for Brain Health
from Science News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
New research reveals that the source of nitrate in your diet matters more than ever for brain health—eating it from veggies like spinach may slash dementia risk, while getting it from red meat or even tap water could raise it. The study of over 54,000 adults shows that plant-based nitrates come with protective nutrients, unlike animal products that may form harmful compounds. Even low levels of nitrate in drinking water are linked to higher dementia risk, prompting calls for more research. It’s not about cutting nitrates entirely, but choosing where they come from—for sharper brain health, start with your salad bowl and skip the processed meats.
