MIND Diet Linked to Slower Brain Aging, New Study Finds
TL;DR Summary
A long-term study of over 1,600 middle-aged and older adults found that stronger adherence to the MIND diet slowed brain aging, with about 2.5 years of reduced aging and 8%–8.8% less ventricular expansion over roughly 12 years; specific foods like berries and poultry were associated with protective brain changes, while sweets and fried foods linked to worse outcomes. The study notes limitations such as demographic homogeneity and lack of APOE data, but suggests the MIND diet could be an accessible strategy to support brain health as populations age.
