A plate of vegetables and tomatoes sprinkled with olives, then doused with olive oil. Or a bowl of cereal with fruit pieces and nuts. Side dishes, more fish than red meat and poultry, as well as the more unsaturated fats than saturated fats. This is the Mediterranean diet. Not only tasty, Mediterranean diet was to prevent brain damage that interferes with memory and thinking ability. Studies conducted in New York, United States, against 712 people proves this.
After 6 years, all participants undergo an MRI examination, and 238 of them had at least one part of the brain damage. After investigation, those whose diets most closely to the Mediterranean diet, may suffer brain damage 36% smaller than those whose diets away from the Mediterranean diet. Meanwhile, those whose diets are close enough to the Mediterranean diet, 21% smaller.
Concluded, diet is far from the Mediterranean diet, comparable to the increase in blood pressure and brain damage. Previous research shows that Mediterranean diet or a diet similar to it can reduce the risk of Alzheimer�s disease and prolong life of Alzheimer�s sufferers. Based on the research note that this is also affected by brain damage, which occurred less with the Mediterranean diet.
