HealthDay (3/15, Mundell ) reported that “heart-healthy…diets appear to slow biological aging, helping to protect the brain.” Investigators “found that folks who most closely adhered to what is called the Mediterranean-Dash Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet had slower aging, as measured by DunedinPACE, as well as lowered odds for dementia and early death.”
The researchers determined that “overall…about 27% of the association between a healthy diet and lowered dementia risk is probably due to slowed aging.” The research was published in the Annals of Neurology.
