چکیده
Dairy Consumption Linked to Better Brain Health • Oxidative stress has been implicated in aging and several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. • A new study finds that higher dairy consumption is associated with higher brain concentration of glutathione, a potent antioxidant that can help protect the brain from oxidative stress. • A follow-up intervention trial could confirm whether increasing dairy intake could enhance the brain’s antioxidant defenses and protect against aging and various neurodegenerative diseases.
