Dementia: The diet that could play a ‘preventative role’ in the ‘devastating disease’
The research team went on to argue that there might be links between dietary fibre and the risk of dementia.
“One possibility is that soluble fibre regulates the composition of gut bacteria,” said Professor Yamagishi.
“This composition may affect neuroinflammation, which plays a role in the onset of dementia.”
Another hypothesis is that dietary fibre may reduce other risk factors for dementia, such as obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high glucose levels.
