Show Notes
New study in Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry reveals the MIND diet, a combination of Mediterranean and DASH eating plans, can slow brain aging by about two years. Participants in the Framingham Heart Study, who followed the MIND diet, experienced less gray matter loss and ventricle enlargement. The diet, rich in leafy greens, berries, nuts, whole grains, fish, poultry, beans, and olive oil, and low in butter, cheese, red meat, pastries, sweets, and fried foods, was most effectively followed by women, college graduates, nonsmokers, and those at a healthy weight. Berries and poultry were found to protect the brain, while sweets and fried foods worsened brain decline. The study, while not able to prove cause and effect and mostly involving white participants, suggests the MIND diet as a promising tool for brain health alongside exercise.
