MINNEAPOLIS - A new study shows that older people who followed a Mediterranean diet retained more brain volume over a three-year period than those who did not follow the diet as closely. (eurekalert.org)
The Mediterranean diet includes large amounts of fruits, vegetables, olive oil, beans and cereal grains such as wheat and rice, moderate amounts of fish, dairy and wine, and limited red meat and poultry. (eurekalert.org)
This study adds to the body of evidence that suggests the Mediterranean diet has a positive impact on brain health. (eurekalert.org)
These measurements were compared to how closely participants followed the Mediterranean diet. (eurekalert.org)
The participants varied in how closely their dietary habits followed the Mediterranean diet principles. (eurekalert.org)
People who didn't follow as closely to the Mediterranean diet were more likely to have a higher loss of total brain volume over the three years than people who followed the diet more closely. (eurekalert.org)
There was no relationship between grey matter volume or cortical thickness and the Mediterranean diet. (eurekalert.org)
It's possible that other components of the Mediterranean diet are responsible for this relationship, or that it's due to all of the components in combination," Luciano said. (eurekalert.org)
People with multiple sclerosis who adhere to the Mediterranean diet are less likely to have issues with cognition. (newscientist.com)
