Abstract

High sugar diets and other lifestyle factors negatively influence neurodegenerative diseases.

  • Modern lifestyle factors such as high sugar, high fat diets, and substance addiction may exacerbate neurodegenerative diseases.
  • Ageing, brain injury, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation are associated with the onset and severity of these diseases.
  • Certain dietary components, including polyunsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants, may help counteract neurodegenerative diseases.
  • Increased autophagy and neurogenesis in the adult brain could be promoted by healthy dietary choices and physical activity.
