Nootropic foods in neurodegenerative diseases: mechanisms, challenges, and future.

ABSTRACT: Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease are increasing globally and represent a significant cause of age-related death in the population. Recent studies emphasize the strong association between environmental stressors, particularly dietary factors, and brain health and neurodegeneration unsatisfactory outcomes. Despite ongoing efforts, the efficiency of current treatments for NDDs remains wanting. Considering this, nootropic foods with neuroprotective effects are of high interest as part of a possible long-term therapeutic strategy to improve brain health and alleviate NDDs. However, since it is a new and emerging area in food and neuroscience, there is limited information on mechanisms and challenges to consider for this to be a successful interventio
