Written by Nicholas BakalarEating colourful fruits and vegetables may be good for your brain. The study was observational so cannot prove cause and effect, although its large size and long duration add to growing evidence that what we eat can impact brain health. The scientists used data from two large continuing health studies that began in the late 1970s and early 1980s, in which participants periodically completed diet and health questionnaires over more than 20 years.
