French cheese Camembert may hold the secret to longevity and maintaining mental sharpness. This conclusion was reached by scientists after a series of studies examining the effects of fermented foods on brain health and the aging processes of the body, according to Neuroscience Research journal.
What scientists discover about Camembert
Camembert, like other soft fermented cheeses, contains a high concentration of beneficial substances:
- Antioxidants that protect brain cells from aging.
- B vitamins (including B12), which are essential for the nervous system and cognitive functions.
- Polyphenols and other compounds that reduce inflammation and improve vascular function.
How cheese affects the body
Experts note that regular but moderate consumption of Camembert can:
- Reduce the risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
- Improve memory and concentration.
- Slow down the aging processes of cells thanks to active enzymes and probiotics that support gut microbiota balance.
Scientists explain that fermented cheeses, particularly Camembert, are produced using unique methods that ensure a high concentration of beneficial bacteria. These bacteria synthesize biologically active substances that positively affect the brain and overall body health.
How to include Camembert in your diet
Dietitians recommend consuming cheese in moderation — no more than 50–70 grams daily. Camembert pairs well with fruits, nuts, and greens. It can be added to salads, served as a standalone dish, or enjoyed with whole-grain bread.
Despite its beneficial properties, it is important to remember that Camembert is a high-calorie product with high-fat content. People with cardiovascular diseases, lactose intolerance, or obesity should avoid it.
Camembert is a delicacy with a centuries-old history and a product that can promote longevity and brain health. Moderate consumption of this French cheese can become part of a balanced diet that supports mental sharpness and youthful vitality.
