This blog post discusses a new study that found that people who eat a Mediterranean diet high in vegetables, fruits, nuts, beans, fish and olive oil had a lower risk of memory problems and mental decline. The study followed over 4,000 people for over 4 years and found that those who most closely followed the Mediterranean diet had a 28% lower risk of cognitive issues. The diet is thought to help cognitive health due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
