Summary
Jen Avis told Good Morning ArkLaMiss that pairing the Mediterranean and DASH diets can help prevent neurological disease by emphasizing whole foods and limiting salt and processed items.
The combined approach aims to reduce brain inflammation, improve blood flow, lower harmful proteins and provide steady brain fuel.
Key foods include leafy greens, berries, nuts, whole grains, oily fish and olive oil, which Avis presented as core brain-friendly staples.
The Dementia Society of America also recommends eating more brain-friendly foods daily, with simple swaps such as olive oil instead of butter and nuts or berries instead of chips.
