Researchers have found in a preliminary pilot study that restricting daily eating hours and avoiding food before bedtime may help reduce cognitive decline in older age. The research indicates that older individuals who confined their mealtimes and snacks to a nine-hour window performed better on problem-solving tests.
Specifically, the study highlights that participants who avoided food for four hours before bed showed improved cognitive outcomes. While described as preliminary, the findings suggest a potential dietary approach to staving off cognitive decline among older populations.
