Green Mediterranean Diet Enhances Brain Health and Slows Aging

Adding green tea, walnuts, and a green smoothie to the Mediterranean Diet can significantly enhance its health benefits, particularly in reducing dementia risk and slowing aging, according to a study by Ben-Gurion University. The study involved 284 obese participants who followed a calorie-restricted Mediterranean Diet with these additions, resulting in a 58% reduction in blood sugar levels and improved brain health. The benefits are attributed to polyphenols in the added ingredients, highlighting the potential of these 'green' components in boosting the diet's effectiveness.
