Everyday Neuro 006: How Diet Affects Cognition - Exploring the Consumption of Caffeine, Alcohol and the So-called Western Diet​

In this episode, I discuss the topic of diet on cognition. I look specifically at the affects of the so-called ‘western diet’, alcohol and caffeine on cognitive skills such as memory and attention, and discuss the contribution of genes and the brain on our ability to choose healthy options. I also talk with Clinical Neuropsychologist, Dr Matthew Hughes, to discuss the affect and management of Type II diabetes on cognition. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
