What do you get when you cross the Mediterranean and the DASH diet? You get the MIND diet. It was developed by nutritional epidemiologist Martha Clare Morris, ScD, and her colleagues at Rush University Medical Center. They used the best of both diets to create a powerhouse meal plan for the brain. Just what we need – one more diet, right? But don’t be too hasty to dismiss this as just another fad. A variety of studies have confirmed that the effects of the MIND diet on brain function showed greater benefits than either the Mediterranean or the DASH diet alone.
