MIND diet

DEMIND-Diät

The MIND diet (Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay) is a hybrid eating pattern targeting brain health. It emphasizes leafy greens, berries, nuts, whole grains, beans, fish, poultry, and olive oil while limiting red meat, butter, cheese, pastries, and fried food. Observational studies link higher adherence to slower cognitive decline and lower Alzheimer's incidence, though a 2023 randomized trial showed only modest cognitive effects over three years.
