Mediterranean Diet for Memory

Daily Health Tips update for August 17:

We’ve already heard about the good things a Mediterranean diet can do for the heart and for weight management, but here’s another benefit: according to a Rush University study, the foods that are staples in Mediterranean cuisine are linked to slower rates of cognitive decline in adults. People in the study whose diets included vegetables, legumes, olive oil, fish and moderate wine and alcohol consumption had the least amount of cognitive decline, while other participants who followed a more conventional low-fat diet did not see the same benefit. The study was published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
