In a recent study done at Rush University (USA), the Director of Nutrition and Nutritional Epidemiology Dr. Martha Clare Morris and colleagues developed the “Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay” (MIND) diet. The MIND diet is a mix of Mediterranean and DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diets, both diets have been found to reduce the risk of cardiovascular conditions and have also been found to provide protection against Dementia.
The 'MIND' diet has 15 dietary components, including green leafy vegetables, nuts, berries, beans, whole grains, fish, poultry, olive oil and cheese. For more details see: https://www.rush.edu/news/press-releases/new-mind-diet-may-significantly-protect-against-alzheimers-disease
The study was done in Chicago in which it was found that the MIND diet lowered the risk of Alzheimer's disease by as much as 53 percent in participants who adhered to the diet rigorously, and by about 35 percent in those who followed it moderately well.
It is an interesting and much needed study for the prevention of Dementia and Alzheimer’s. Such type of study needs to be done in other parts of the world as well for exploring ways of reducing the risk of Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
