In an era where mental and cognitive health is more important than ever, the MIND diet emerges as a new hope for enhancing your brain power. This diet plan is derived from the Mediterranean and DASH diets. It focuses on the intake of certain brain-boosting foods while limiting others to help reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseasesi  A wide range of conditions characterized by the progressive death of neural cells in the nervous system. and promote cognitive health. In this article, we have listed foods to include in your diet, how the MIND diet works, its benefits, associated risks, a sample diet plan, and recipes. Read on!

protip_icon At A Glance
  • Principle: A combination of Mediterranean and DASH diets that is rich in healthy fats and fiber and low in sodium.
  • Purpose: To improve brain health and reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.
  • Who It Is For: People showing signs of cognitive impairment.
  • Duration: Long-term
  • Who Should Avoid: People with celiac disease or lactose intolerance.
  • Cons: Heavy focus on foods that people are commonly allergic to, like seafood and nuts.

What Is The MIND Diet?

MIND stands for Mediterranean-DASH Diet Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay. This diet plan is designed to promote brain health and reduce cognitive declinei  The gradual decline of cognitive abilities, such as memory, attention, and thinking. (1). It is a hybrid of the two healthy diets, the Mediterranean diet and the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet, and is considered one of the best and most effective diets for health and vitality. It improves heart health, reduce the risk of diabetes, and lower blood pressure (2), (3), (4).

Over time, researchers integrated the key elements of both diets that seemed to have a great impact on brain health. This resulted in the MIND diet plan that includes foods that are rich in nutrients, antioxidants, and healthy fats to support brain health and reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementiai  A range of cognitive impairments that affects a person’s thinking, memory, and ability to perform daily activities. . But, why is there so much emphasis on brain health?

According to a 2022 report by the Alzheimer’s Diseasei  A progressive brain disorder that slowly deteriorates cognitive skills and memory and is characterized by behavioral changes. Association, as many as 6.2 million people in the United States alone have Alzheimer’s disease (5). Evidence indicates that the MIND diet lowered the risk of this condition by 53% in participants who strictly followed it and by approximately 35% in those who practiced it moderately (6).

protip_icon Trivia
The MIND diet was introduced by Dr. Martha Clare Morris and her colleagues at Rush University Medical Center, Chicago in 2015.

But how does this diet plan work to boost brain health? Find out in the next section.

How Does The MIND Diet Work?

The MIND diet mainly focuses on the consumption of plant-based foods, while limiting the intake of foods high in saturated fats and added sugars. The intake of foods that are rich in essential nutrients (B vitamins, magnesium, iron), antioxidants (vitamin C, flavonoids, polyphenols), and healthy fats (omega fats) help protect and nourish the brain. Consuming nutrient-rich foods and following specific diet plans may help fight against the oxidative damage and inflammation associated with cognitive decline (7), (8), (9), (10).

The antioxidants available in foods that make up these diet plans help protect the brain cells from free radical damage (11), (12). They also help prevent beta-amyloid plaque formation in the brain, which is the primary cause of brain cell death or Alzheimer’s disease (13). In addition, the omega fats in these healthy foods exhibit anti-inflammatory activity that helps lower inflammation in the brain (14), (15).

The MIND diet mainly focuses on 15 dietary ingredients to eat or avoid. The following section will give you an idea of the MIND diet foods list.

Foods To Eat On The MIND Diet

The ten types of food people following this diet can eat include:

1. Berries: Blueberries and strawberries are rich in flavonoids, especially anthocyanidins, that may help improve cognitive ability by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation (16), (17). Including them in your diet may help reduce, and even reverse, cognitive decline as they have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Try to eat a handful of berries at least twice a week.

2. Leafy Greens: Consumption of green leafy vegetables, such as kale, spinach, and lettuce, may help slow down the decline of cognitive abilities in old age. Leafy greens are rich in vitamin K, lutein, β-carotene, nitrate, folate, kaempferol, and α-tocopherol that slow down the cognitive decline process (18). Aim to eat a minimum of 6 servings (½ cup, cooked) of leafy greens per week.

3. Nuts: A study showed that people who consume more than 70 g/week of nuts had a 17% lower risk of cognitive impairment compared to non-consumers. Antioxidants, in the form of nutrients like vitamin E and non-nutrients such as polyphenols present in the nuts, can positively affect cognitive functioning (19). Consume at least five servings (30 g) of nuts such as almonds, pistachios, and walnuts per week.

4. Whole Grains: Consumption of whole grains may prevent a decline in cognition (20). Whole grains are rich in non-nutrient phytochemicals like flavonoids, carotenoids, and phytosterols that play a key role in reducing cognitive decline (21). Try to include whole grains such as oatmeal, quinoa, rye, and brown rice in at least three servings (16 g) per day.

5. Beans: The nutrients available in beans help improve brain function. They contain low levels of zinc, and the intake of food low in zinc may help reduce cognitive delay in the elderly (22). Include beans, such as kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans, in at least four meals per week.

6. Vegetables: The intake of vegetables is inversely associated with the prevalence of cognitive disorders. Vegetables are rich in a variety of antioxidant nutrients that act against oxidative stress and help reduce cognitive decline (23). Eat vegetables like cabbage, carrots, broccoli, and okra at least once (77 g) per day.

7. Fish: A higher intake of fish is associated with a lower risk of neurodegenerative disorders like dementia (24). Fish fatty acids like EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are also being studied for their potential in treating Alzheimer’s disease and major depression (25). Add fish, like tuna or salmon, to your diet at least once a week.

8. Poultry: A moderate intake of lean cuts of poultry (chicken) helps reduce the risk of cognitive decline. Chicken contains dietary protein and essential amino acids that may have a protective effect on cognitive functioning. Also, it may help reduce beta-amyloid deposition in the brain, which is associated with cognitive impairment (26). Eat poultry twice a week, and try having steamed or smoked meat instead of frying or grilling it. Do not over-consume poultry as it also contains saturated fats.

9. Wine: Wine consumption in moderation has been associated with a reduced risk of cognitive impairment. Red wine contains flavonoids that reduce the incidence of Alzheimer’s disease and cerebrovascular disease. It also contains resveratrol, which has neuroprotective and anti-neuroinflammatory properties that may help prevent cognitive decline (27). Do not consume more than one glass a day or 30 g for men and 20 g for women.

10. Olive Oil: Oleuropein-aglycone, a phenolic compound present in olive oil, has a neuroprotective effect that acts against cognitive decline and aids memory and behavioral functions (28). Use extra virgin olive oil to cook your food or as dressing for salads.

The MIND diet recommends avoiding or limiting certain types of food that are believed to be less beneficial for brain health. Scroll down to learn about them.

Foods To Avoid On The MIND Diet

Here are some foods to limit on the MIND diet (29):

  • Fast Food (French fries, fried chicken, chicken nuggets): Limit your consumption to less than one serving (100 g) per week.

Not all diets have the same benefits, dietary recommendations, and patterns. Scroll down to learn how the MIND diet differs from other diet plans.

How Does The MIND Diet Differ From Other Diet Plans?

The MIND diet offers precise recommendations for what foods to consume and what foods to avoid in order to keep the brain in good health. It recommends consuming ten types of food that slow down cognitive decline while limiting five unhealthy groups that may speed up brain health deterioration. It is different from other popular dietary plans, like paleo diet and keto diet, which are more restrictive. In contrast, the MIND diet focuses on a higher intake of foods that are good for the brain and is not overly restrictive. As a result, you are still able to enjoy your favorite foods in moderation.

Following the MIND diet reduces the risk of cognitive decline and related disorders. But, are there any risks associated with it? Scroll down for the answer.

Risks Associated With The MIND Diet

There are no known risks associated with the MIND diet. However, anecdotal evidence suggests that some foods in the MIND diet plan may not be suitable for everyone due to food intolerance, allergies, or dietary restrictions. Hence, it is always advisable to check with a healthcare professional before following any dietary plan to figure out whether it is appropriate for you.

The MIND diet (Mediterranean-DASH Diet Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay) encourages the intake of brain health-boosting foods and limits less healthy options. This dietary pattern promotes cognitive health and reduces the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia. However, if you are allergic to certain foods on the MIND diet or have any dietary restrictions, it is important to consult your nutritionist before you start this diet. Remember to plan your meals ahead of time so you can prep and store your food for the week, making it easier to stick to the diet.
