New study shows MIND diet reduces dementia risk by 25%

Foods to avoid on the MIND diet include butter, margarine, cheese, red meat, fried foods, pastries, sweets, ice cream, donuts, and cookies, as they are linked to inflammation and cognitive decline. Neurologist Clifford Segil noted, “It is less clear how it protects memory if age has already accumulated.” Segil added, “Eating a balanced diet of proteins, vegetables, and vitamins, and drinking water are healthy choices which can make you more healthy—and maybe your brain more healthy.” He suggests avoiding diets high in fats and sugars and limiting simple carbohydrates and ultra-processed foods, as these factors have been linked to bodily inflammation associated with dementia risk.
