Monitor brain health to combat atrophy after 50
Brain atrophy, a predictor of cognitive decline, remains stable until around age 50, after which it begins to significantly worsen.

Higher consumption of walnuts, green tea, and mankai (duckweed) were all individually associated with greater protection from brain shrinkage.
