As the brain ages, it undergoes changes in metabolism, plasticity, and cognitive function, making it vulnerable to age-related decline. Growing evidence suggests that diet, including vitamins, nutrients, and flavonoids or related compounds, plays a critical role in supporting brain health and mitigating these changes. Nutritional components such as omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins, and flavonoids have shown potential in promoting neuroplasticity and delaying cognitive decline. This Research Topic aims to explore the influence of diet and exercise on brain aging, offering insights into dietary strategies that support long-term cognitive health and resilience against neurodegenerative diseases.
This collection plans to highlight, but is not limited to, the following subthemes:
- Exploration of the physiological mechanisms linking nutrition and exercise to brain aging and cognitive decline.
- Evaluation of plant-derived compounds and their effects on neuroplasticity and brain metabolism.
- Investigation of dietary interventions in promoting cognitive resilience against age-related diseases.
- Assessment of the synergistic effects of physical exercise and nutrition on brain health during aging.
- Analysis of the role of specific nutrients, such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and flavonoids, in mitigating brain senescence.
- Examination of the relationship between gut-brain axis interactions and brain aging influenced by diet.
- Exploration of the potential of personalized nutrition to optimize brain function and delay cognitive aging.
By advancing our understanding of how diet, vitamins, nutrients, and flavonoids influence brain aging and cognitive function, this collection aims to inform innovative dietary strategies that promote lifelong brain health and resilience against age-related neurodegenerative conditions.
