00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about, top 4 brain boosting diets compared, which one should

00:15you eat? Your diet shapes your brain structure, function and long term health. Every bite counts,

00:21but with all the hype, it's hard to know what works. Let's simplify 4 popular diets, vegan,

00:26keto, carnivore and mediterranean and how they really affect your brain.

00:301. Vegan diet. No animal products, just plants, fruits, veggies, grains, nuts and seeds. You get

00:38plenty of polyphenols, good for cognition and fiber, great for gut and brain. It may also lower

00:43inflammation. Watch out for low omega-3s, EPA, DHA, B12 and vitamin D. Ultra processed vegan foods can

00:51harm brain health. A whole food vegan diet with smart supplements can support your brain well.

00:562. Ketogenic diet. Keto cuts carbs and boosts fat, switching your brain's fuel to ketones.

01:02It's been used for epilepsy and may help early Alzheimer's and insulin resistance.

01:06Downsides. Low fiber, fewer polyphenols and possible cholesterol issues if you eat too much

01:11saturated fat. Cycling on and off keto can help long term.

01:153. Carnivore diet. Only animal products, meat, fish, eggs and some dairy. It removes sugar and

01:22processed foods and some report symptom relief for autoimmune or metabolic issues. But, no long-term

01:27brain studies exist yet. It lacks fiber and polyphenols and high red meat and fat intake

01:32raise concerns. It's also expensive and hard to maintain.

01:364. Mediterranean diet. This is the most studied and brain-friendly. It focuses on whole foods,

01:41veggies, fruits, fish, olive oil, whole grains and some wine. It's linked to better mood, memory,

01:48brain function and lower stroke risk. It's flexible, sustainable and backed by strong science.

01:54All diets have pros and cons, but for most people, the Mediterranean diet is the safest

01:58and most effective choice for brain health.
