Role Of Dietary Protein And Thiamine — Intakes On...
A systematic literature review published in Nutrients investigated the Role of Dietary Protein and Thiamine Intakes on Cognitive Function in Healthy Older People. The review appraised 17 eligible studies to determine if these specific nutrients could delay cognitive decline in aging populations. Key Findings on Cognitive Health
