Experts have found that tiger nut and coconut may help protect the brain from damage caused by harmful chemicals. In a recent scientific study published in Toxicology Reports, the experts declared natural, fiber-rich foods like tiger nut may support role brain health and could become useful in future research on conditions such as dementia.
The study had focused on how these foods affect memory, movement, mood, gut health, and brain chemistry. It was carried out using mice and examined the effects of a pesticide called dichlorvos (DDVP). These group of chemicals known as organophosphates are widely used in agriculture but are known to be harmful to the nervous system when exposure is high or prolonged.
The same types of damage observed in the study are also seen in brain conditions like dementia. These include memory loss, brain inflammation, oxidative stress, and disruptions in communication between the gut and the brain.
