The MIND diet, which stands for Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay and could not be more aptly named, reduced Alzheimer's risk by 53% among strict adherents and by 35% among those who followed it pretty well.

The MIND diet, on the other hand, emphasizes the pieces of each that have been specifically linked to dementia prevention and modifies other aspects, like fruit consumption, for added benefit.
