Key Foods Could Keep Alzheimer's Disease At Bay

Key Foods Could Keep Alzheimer's Disease At Bay

Eat your fish, broccoli, berries, leafy greens and more and you’ll boost your brain health and potentially ward off Alzheimer’s. That’s the message from a new study reported in the October Issue of Tufts University Health & Nutrition Letter.

Researchers at Rush University, in Chicago, showed that combining aspects of both a Mediterranean-style diet and the DASH (Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension) are associated with brain benefits that may help prevent Alzheimer’s. Rush University developed MIND (which stands for Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay) that focuses on eating more plant-based foods, berries and green leafy vegetables and less animal and high saturated fats.
