Milk enriched with the milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) and foods that contain it can help people over 65 years of age to improve your cognitive abilities, including short-term memory.
Reaching old age involves changes in the body that include neuronal wear and tear that has consequences such as diseases, memory loss, Alzheimer’s and senile dementia.
A balanced diet, which, according to studies, includes foods rich in MFGM, can help recover the ability to remember recent experiences.
Benefits of MFGM for cognitive health
A study of the Department of Psychological Medicine at the University of Auckland in New Zealand reveals that The milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) contains “bioactive proteins, carbohydrates and lipids.”vital to improving mental health in three key stages of human life, that is, childhood, adulthood and old age.
The study published by the specialized magazine Food indicates that MFGM compounds “play a fundamental role in maintaining the integrity of the cell membrane and the capacity for neuronal signaling, which promotes brain health.”
MFGM and its phospholipid components can ““Improve mental health by reducing neuroinflammation and promoting the synthesis of neurotransmitters through the gut-brain axis.”
Based on tests conducted by researchers on age-related cognitive decline, MFGM helps reduce the negative consequences of situational stress, improve brain health in old age, and reduce depressive symptoms.
Other Oxford research reveals that sweet whey, the co-product of butter manufacturing, is rich in bioactive components of MFGM.
How does MFGM help cognitive health?
A study published by the “Food Sciences Research Institute (CIAL, CSIC-UAM)” found that MFGM-enriched milk improves episodic memory in people over 65 years of age and prevents mild cognitive impairmentquotes El Cronista.
Milk with MFGM is rich in sphingolipids, ospholipids, and glycoproteins and other compounds that, as we already mentioned, are key to improving brain functions.
These three components play important roles in brain health. For example, the main lipids in cell membranes are phospholipids, which contribute to strengthening the nervous system.
While phosphatidylserine improves depression, stress and Alzheimer’s and sphingolipids promotes memory and brain health.
Specialists recommend including this type of milk in the diet to prevent mental deterioration and improve the cognitive health of adults.
