Exeter university study finds Med diet leads to healthy mind

The Mediterranean diet has long been held up as a healthy example, and now researchers at Exeter University have found evidence that it's good for the mind as well.


A team from the medical school analysed 12 pieces of research, consisting of eleven observational studies and a randomised control trial.

They found that a higher adherence to a Mediterranean diet - with plenty of olive oil, vegetables, fruit and fish - was linked to better cognitive function and even a reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease.
