Can New Diet Reduce Risk of Developing Alzheimer’s?

New studies come out frequently that seem to suggest a new breakthrough in x,y,z — as in this case, the sample size can be small and the findings may not be statistically significant.

“Participants who ate one to two servings of green vegetables a day had a “dramatic decrease in the rate of cognitive decline” compared with people who ate fewer greens,” said Dr. Morris.

However, the initial assessment of following the MIND diet are pretty impressive and at least worth knowing about. Here is what we thought was most interesting: “Participants who ate one to two servings of green vegetables a day had a “dramatic decrease in the rate of cognitive decline” compared with people who ate fewer greens,” said Dr. Morris. “It was about the equivalent of being 11 years younger in age…” In addition, there seem to be positive results even if you don’t follow the MIND diet exactly. The ForMen takeaway? Green vegetables are good, try to have two servings a day. But if you are still interested in the benefits of protein (muscle building, libido, etc.) — keep that on the menu, too.
