Alex Wade is a Research Associate in the University of South Australia’s Allied Health & Human Performance Unit. Her work bridges the fields of nutrition and psychology and explores how we can reduce our risk of dementia by changing our diets. Her doctoral research focused on the Mediterranean diet, and whether it can be modified to improve cardiovascular and cognitive health for older Australians.
Frini Karayanidis is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Newcastle. Her research in cognitive neuroscience focuses on the interplay between brain, behaviour and environment to craft a clearer picture of how we efficiently and adaptively apply cognitive control processes across the lifespan.
In this podcast Alex and Frini discuss:
- How we can optimise diet and physical activity compositions to prevent dementia?
- What do the good oils and fats actually do in our bodies to promote health?
- How does diet affect our brain and risk of dementia and capacity for brain processing speed?
What is the Mediterranean diet? How does the Mediterranean diet improve our brain health by improving our heart health?
