nutrinej
Nutrinej is a term that combines "nutrition" and "neuro," referring to the study of how dietary components influence brain health and cognitive function. This emerging field examines the relationship between nutrition and neurological development, mental performance, and neurodegenerative diseases. Research in nutrinej highlights the role of specific nutrients, such as omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins, in supporting brain plasticity, memory, and overall cognitive well-being.
Key nutrients often studied in nutrinej include:
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), found in fatty fish, which are critical for brain
Dietary patterns such as the Mediterranean diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats,
While nutrinej is still evolving, its findings underscore the potential of dietary interventions as complementary strategies
