Monkeys that followed a key '30%' rule of eating had significantly healthier brains at the end of their lives

Maintaining a single dietary practice for over 20 years could help 'slow down' ageing in the brain, new research reveals. Scientists believe this long-term eating pattern could reduce several typically expected 'metabolic alterations', some of which are linked to Alzheimer's disease .

The new study , led by Boston University in the US, studied 10 male monkeys , which were split into two key groups. The first of these was required to eat a 'normal', balanced diet, while the other consumed approximately 30% fewer calories for the remainder of their lives.

Once all monkeys had passed away naturally, scientists then proceeded to analyse their brain matter using single-nucl
