ALBANY, Ga., June 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- This June as part of Men's Health Month, The Peanut Institute is sharing a variety of ways men can proactively protect and boost their brain.

Peanuts and peanut butter are packed with 19 essential vitamins and minerals – many of which benefit the brain.

"Since men are often less likely to seek preventive medical care, it can be especially important to focus on steps that support long-term brain health. Managing blood pressure and cholesterol and addressing other cardiovascular risk factors can all help reduce the risk of cognitive decline and dementia later in life," says Dr. Samara Sterling, a nutrition scientist and research director for The Peanut Institute. "Regular mental activity, heart health and smart nutrition are a few of the areas men should focus on."
