How Magnesium Protects Your Brain as You Age, Plus How to Eat Well When Fresh Food Prices Keep Rising
About this episode
The episode discusses the link between magnesium intake and brain health, along with strategies for maintaining a healthy diet amidst rising fresh food prices.
New Australian research from the ANU links higher magnesium intake to better brain health and reduced dementia risk at midlife, and most Australians are not getting close to the amounts that matter. Leanne Ward and Susie Burrell break down the research, the best food sources, and what to look for in a supplement, plus practical strategies for keeping fruit in your diet when fresh food prices keep climbing, a new soup review, and whether you can skip dinner after an evening workout.
