Sticking to a Mediterranean-style diet, known as the MIND diet (Mediterranean–Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay) may reduce dementia risk, according to international research. The diet emphasises natural plant-based foods, limits the intake of animal foods and foods high in saturated fat, and uniquely encourages people to eat berries and green leafy vegetables rich in vitamins and antioxidants. The study, which looked at 200,000 people, found that those who stuck to the diet the best had a 17% lower risk of dementia compared with people with the worst adherence to the diet.
