14 DAY TRIAL // Researchers at the University of Exeter's Medical School have recently finished work on a meta-analysis of several previous studies focusing on the health benefits associated with eating a Mediterranean diet.
They say that, as far as they can tell, the brains of people who opt for a Mediterranean diet are healthier.
The result is that these people have significantly lower chances to develop dementia at some point in their lives.
“Mediterranean food is both delicious and nutritious, and our systematic review shows it may help to protect the ageing brain by reducing the risk of dementia,” lead researcher Iliana Lourida said, as cited by Daily Mail.
What this specialist means is that people who eat lots of fruits, veggies, nuts, fish and olive oil have better cognitive functions, lower rates of cognitive decline and a lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s.
