The MIND Diet: Eat to Prevent Alzheimer's with Martha Clare Morris
The MIND diet, an acronym for the Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay, combines the DASH and Mediterranean diets to reduce the risk of dementia and decline in age-related brain health.
Martha Clare Morris, nutritional epidemiologist at Rush University, joins me to discuss the design & results of the MIND diet, to share her rich perspective on nutrition and brain health as a well-known researcher in the field, and to reflect on the horizon for nutrition and cognition.
