Die Qualität der Kohlenhydrate in der Ernährung spielt eine Schlüsselrolle bei der Demenzprävention. Die Bevorzugung von Lebensmitteln mit niedrigem glykämischen Index, wie zum Beispiel die meisten Früchte und Vollkornprodukte, kann das Risiko für Alzheimer und andere Arten von Demenz verringern.

**The quality of carbohydrates in the diet plays a key role in the prevention of dementia**
A study by Universitat Rovira i Virgili shows that **prioritising low-glycaemic-index foods, such as most fruits and whole grains, can reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia**
The quality and quantity of carbohydrates in the diet play a decisive role in the development of dementias. This is according to a combined study carried out by the Nutrition and Metabolic Health (NuMeH) research group of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV), the Centre for Environmental, Food and Toxicological Technology (TecnATox), and the Pere Virgili Health Research Institute (IISPV). The results of this research have been published in the scientific journal International Journal of Epidemiology.
For those interested, here’s the link to the peer reviewed journal article:

I’ve always wondered about studies like these, not only for dementia or other mental disorders, but also cardio vascular disease, cancer etc. While there are some risk factors I believe are obvious to avoid (smoking, substance abuse, binge drinking, alcoholism etc.), most other „diets“ seem to come across as… do this and you’ll die healthy. I mean, how much effort and giving up on certain habits and foods is worthy to perhaps have a marginally better life after say, 80? I mean, most of us have faced people that had all sorts of terrible health misfortunes, some of which could have been avoided, at least partially… But what do these studies essentially tell us? Eat porridge only and live until you’re hit by a car?
What are the biggest ‘GI offenders’ people eat daily that are easiest to swap without hating your life?
Why have I seen so much stuff about alzheimers and gut health in general lately? I feel like those two topics are everywhere
