A recent study has shown that consuming a certain type of cheese can improve memory.
A study published in Neuroscience Research highlighted the brain health benefits of Camembert cheese.
The study found that fatty acid amides (such as meristemides) formed during the fermentation process of the cheese improved the memory and cognitive abilities of rats that were fed a high-fat diet. This suggests that Camembert cheese may have nutritional benefits for brain health.
The fermentation process of this cheese produces fatty acid amides that are rarely found in unfermented or fermented cheeses. These compounds are known for their ability to improve brain health.
To find out the brain health benefits of Camembert cheese and its fatty acid amides, the researchers conducted experiments on male rats.
These mice were divided into different groups and fed either a high-fat diet or Camembert cheese or specific fatty acid amides derived from cheese.
Later, in specific tests, it was found that the memory of the mice that were fed Camembert cheese and meristemides improved.
