Eating habits tied to brain health in seniors

A small six-month study suggests that eating within an eight to nine-hour window may improve cognitive function in postmenopausal women who are overweight or obese. Participants who limited their eating to this shorter timeframe outperformed those who consumed food over a 12-hour period on tests measuring memory, problem-solving, and attention, despite both groups losing similar weight. Researchers believe that time-restricted eating might support brain health by regulating circadian rhythms, reducing inflammation, and improving metabolic health, though larger studies are needed for definitive recommendations.
