Protein and Fiber Team Up for Brain Health | Health and Fitness News

New research reveals protein and fiber aren’t just good for your body—they may be secretly protecting your brain as you age. A long-term study found that older adults with lower fiber intake, especially men with low protein, showed faster links between mood decline and cognitive drop-offs. While most hit protein targets, fiber is the real gap—aim for 25-34 grams daily. The fix? Plant-based foods: green peas, almonds, chia seeds, edamame, quinoa, beans, and whole grains all deliver both nutrients in one bite, plus heart-healthy perks. Your brain—and your gut—will thank you.
