Mediterranean diet is essentially a plant based diet that focuses on fruits and vegetables, grains and legumes, nuts  and beans, and abundant herbs and spices.  More fish, olive oil and wine, and less red meat.  Just a healthy, colorful, tasty and nutritious choice of foods.

Remarkably, recently it was reported that the inevitable and dreaded decline in cognition that comes with age, dementia, is lower and less severe in the elderly who consume mainly a mediterranean based diet.

Huge long term study called MIND (Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay) showed that people who followed this diet which is a slight modification of the mediterranean diet, in 4.5 years of the study it had lowered AD risk by over 50%!!  What drug currently on the market, can achieve such a result for AD?  None that I know of, and all meds bring with them side effects, some extremely nasty ones.
