Introduction
MIND stands for Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay and is a hybrid of the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) and the Mediterranean Diet (which reduce the risks of high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke but only reduce the risk of dementia when followed strictly).
The MIND Diet was developed by Martha Clare Morris, a nutritional epidemiologist at Rush University Medical Center, through funding by the National Institute on Aging.
Keep in mind (not MIND) that diet is one of many different factors-- including genetics, environment, smoking, exercise, stress-- that play into the development of Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.

This post is very helpful especially for the baby boomers generation. My parents need to start this MIND diet now because based on my observation, they are starting to be forgetful on certain things. They are almost 60 years old and I will surely show this post to them. Even if they don't have Alzheimer's yet, it is better to prevent it because like the old saying goes, "Prevention is better than cure." Let us be mindful of our elderly loved ones and share this diet! Thank you so much.
