A new diet, known by the acronym MIND, could significantly lower a person’s risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

Rush nutritional epidemiologist Martha Clare Morris with her colleagues developed the “Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay” (MIND) diet. The study shows that the MIND diet lowered the risk of AD by as much as 53 percent in participants who adhered to the diet rigorously, and by about 35 percent in those who followed it moderately well.
