Age-related Cognitive Changes: Effects of Combined Flavonoid Intake and Physical Exertion Mediated by the Gut Microbiome
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This NIH project will examine the effects of routine flavonoid-rich blueberry intake (12-weeks), combined with or in the absence of regular moderate exercise, on cognitive function in a clinical population of older participants identified as experiencing age-related cognitive changes. This project's hypothesis is that the combination of flavonoid-rich diet and routine physical activity may potentiate cognitive benefits and reduce cognitive decline in an aging population, via mechanisms mediated by the gut microbiome.
