- Dietary patterns significantly affect the central nervous system (CNS) by regulating immune responses and inflammatory stress.
- Persistent neuroinflammation is a common mechanism in neurological and psychiatric disorders like Alzheimer's disease and major depression.
- Western dietary patterns, high in saturated fats and refined sugars, disrupt neuroimmune homeostasis and promote inflammation.
- Nutritional strategies such as plant-based, DASH, MIND, and time-restricted diets can counteract neuroinflammation.
- These diets reduce microgliosis, lower systemic inflammation, and improve gut-brain communication.
- Shifting to neuroprotective dietary profiles offers a promising approach to support brain health.
