Diet and brain health
Our lifestyle, our diet, certain diseases and pollution are all factors that can contribute to what is called oxidative stress, an inevitable consequence of our interaction with oxygen.

This is what can cause problems with perception, attention, memory, decision-making and language comprehension.
