Protein is the most essential component of a healthy well balanced diet.

So, you focus your entire meal around the protein source by cooking with ingredients that would complement the protein but are you sure if your chosen protein is the healthiest choice?

Not all protein sources are equal. There’s a high-quality protein source that can boost your cognition, but you are not getting enough of it.

The best source of protein for cognition

A 20-year Harvard study with 77,000 participants found that protein consumption lowered the risk of cognitive decline more than carbohydrates.

The researchers were able to conclude this easily as 5% of calories from animal protein decreased the risk of dementia by 11% as compared to carbohydrates.

But 5% calories from plant protein decreased the risk by 26%. Plant protein is twice as effective in preventing cognitive decline than animal protein.

So, you might want to reconsider your everyday protein source.
