The risk of Alzheimer's disease can be reduced with diet

According to the study published in the Alzheimer's & Dementia magazine, a proper diet can significantly reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. The study was based on the ten year long research of US scientists.

To test the effectiveness of various diets on preventing the appearance of Alzheimer's disease, the study's authors recruited 923 participants aged 58 to 98, who responded to food questionnaires that reflected how closely their diets followed the Mediterranean, DASH or MIND diets.
