MIND: The Modified Mediterranean Diet That Could Slow Brain Ageing

The Mediterranean diet, which has been described by researchers as the “gold standard in preventive medicine,” is linked to better heart health, a longer life, and even a lower likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes.

And a modified version of the approach, called the Mediterranean-DASH Diet Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay or MIND diet, is designed to slow brain ageing in particular. 

It’s been linked to a 53% lower risk of dementia among its strongest adherents, and a 35% reduced likelihood among moderate adherents.
