Factors contributing to this disconnect include a lack of knowledge on the benefits of nutrition for brain health, the perceived cost of a nutritious diet, and inadequate food preparation skills. Read this article to learn more about the study and discover why nourishing your brain starts with your plate. 

AARP has a number of other resources to make it easier for everyone to support their brain health with good nutrition, including the Building Brain-Healthy Eating Habits page and science-backed recommendations from the Global Council on Brain Health, an AARP collaborative.
