Why limiting your diet could be harming your brain

Researchers have found that people who liked a variety of foods did better on cognitive tests than those with limited dietary preferences.

The research tracked the dietary preferences of nearly 182,000 older adults in Britain. The study was unusual because rather than focusing on the health effects of a particular diet, it examined the link between the foods individuals liked and disliked and their mental wellbeing and cognitive health.
