  • Results showed that adults who ate walnuts performed better on various cognitive tests, with faster reaction times and higher scores, especially among those aged 60 and older, suggesting walnuts may support cognitive health.
  • The findings imply that including walnuts in daily diets could be a simple way to potentially improve or maintain cognitive function across different ages and demographics.]
