People who followed either the Mediterranean or Mediterranean-inspired MIND diets were found to have fewer signs of Alzheimer’s disease in their brains at autopsy, according to a new study of nearly 600 elderly adults.
The Mediterranean diet is made up of unprocessed cereals, legumes, fruits, vegetables, olive oil, and smaller portions of fish, dairy products, and meat. The MIND diet is based off of the Mediterranean diet and combines it with the DASH diet to specifically nurture brain health.
