The MIND Diet: Help Preserve Your Aging Brain! â€
src: eatrightvirginia.org

The Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay diet, or more commonly, the MIND diet, combines the portions of the DASH diet and the Mediterranean diet. The diet is intended to reduce neurological deterioration (e.g. Alzheimer's disease) but the evidence from research is insufficient to know whether it helps.

The diet was developed by Martha Clare Morris, a nutritional epidemiologist at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.
