What is the MIND diet?

The Mediterranean–DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet is a research-backed way of eating designed to nourish and protect your brain throughout life. Combining the proven benefits of the Mediterranean and DASH diets, the MIND approach focuses on foods shown to support memory, cognition, and long-term brain health — like leafy greens, berries, nuts, whole grains, and healthy fats — while reducing foods associated with inflammation and cognitive decline. Simple, flexible, and supported by decades of science, the MIND diet empowers you to enjoy delicious, everyday meals that help keep your brain sharp and vibrant as you age.

Research shows individuals who followed the MIND diet closely reduced risk for Alzheimer’s disease by 53% and even those who followed it moderately well reduced risk by 35%.
