Advice for picky eaters: An omnivore diet linked with better brain health

Older people who are not picky eaters appear to have better brain health than those who prefer a more limited diet, according to a large study of British adults.

The research tracked the food preferences of almost 182,000 older people in Britain. The study was unusual because rather than focusing on the health effects of a particular diet, it examined the link between foods that individuals liked and disliked and their mental well-being and cognitive health .
