Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of daily consumption of walnuts for 12 weeks on cognitive function, markers of inflammation and oxidative stress, and the gut microbiome in healthy adults age 55 years and older.
Detailed Description:
The investigators will determine the extent to which daily consumption of walnuts by older adults for 12 weeks influences cognitive function and whether improvements are associated with changes in the resident gut microbiota. The investigators propose that age-related cognitive decline can be mitigated by consuming walnuts, by modulating the microbiota and microbial metabolites and decreasing oxidative stress and inflammation.
