Old people need to REDUCE their level of FTL1!
FTL1 (ferritin light chain 1) is a protein primarily involved in iron storage and metabolism in the body, and it is not typically found in specific foods. Instead, it is produced by the body itself.
The protein FTL1 (Ferritin Light Chain 1) is associated with cognitive decline and aging. To counteract its effects, consider incorporating the following dietary recommendations:
—Animal-based foods: These provide essential nutrients that are bioavailable and can support overall health and cognitive function.
—Avoid plant-based foods: These may lead to iron overload and could negatively impact brain health.
—Focus on nutrient-rich foods: Foods rich in iron and antioxidants may help mitigate the effects of FTL1 on cognitive health.
Incorporating these dietary choices may help in managing the effects of FTL1 and supporting brain health.
Interesting...I thought iron rich foods (meat) would be the problem, not plant based...you must have read the article.
