Research studies have demonstrated that appropriate nutrition, in conjunction with mental, social, and physical activities, may have a greater benefit in maintaining or improving brain health. Diet and appropriate nutrition, cognitive activity, social engagement, and regular physical exercise can significantly help in improving brain health with advancing age and potentially reduce the risk of cognitive decline. Nutraceuticals and functional foods work against neurodegenerative diseases, which are associated with exacerbated oxidative stress in the central nervous system. The fundamental “neurohormesis” principle will also be discussed in this book. Advancing age can exhibit health-related challenges that may take a toll emotionally, financially, and physically. Furthermore, regular stress and environmental pollution are challenging problems. There is no easy or quick solution. Recently, at the International Conference of Alzheimer’s Association in 2014, a two-year clinical trial on older adults at the risk of cognitive impairment demonstrated that a combination of physical activity, proper nutrition, cognitive training, social activities, and management of heart health risk factors slowed cognitive decline.
