A new study published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease found that a diet high in polyphenols could protect the brain from damage. Polyphenols are special nutrients commonly found in fruits, vegetables, and nuts. After analyzing the brains of rats for 40 days, researchers found that the rats on the high polyphenol diet had significant nerve and brain cell protection. They also found that these nutrients could help strengthen and boost the generation of brain stem cells.
