You can reduce your risk for cognitive impairment by half if you closely follow the Mediterranean diet, known for its emphasis on vegetables, whole grains, fish, and olive oil, according to two new studies.
Worried about your mental function during stressful times?
Mediterranean diet scores another win for longevity by improving microbiome"People with the higher adherence to the Mediterranean diet had almost a 45% to 50% reduction in the risk of having an impaired cognitive function," said lead author Dr. Emily Chew, who directs the Division of Epidemiology and Clinical Applications at the National Eye Institute in Bethesda, Maryland."The evidence continues to mount that you are what you eat when it comes to brain health," said Dr.
Eat a lot of veggies and use all kinds and colors to get the broadest range of nutrients, phytochemicals and fiber. Cook, roast or garnish them with herbs and a bit of extra virgin olive oil. If fish is the king, olive oil is the queen in the Mediterranean diet -- stay away from coconut and palm oil, experts say. Even though they are plant-based, those oils are high in saturated fats that will raise bad cholesterol.
