Doctors in a Mediterranean diet
study followed about 1,400 men and
women, aged at least 65, for five years
and found that those who ate the most
fish, monounsaturated fatty acids,
vitamin B12, folic acid, and antioxidants
vitamin E, carotenoids and flavonoids
had better mental test scores, and slower
mental decline. In a related diet and
exercise study, researchers followed
about 1,900 elders for five years and
found that as diet improved and exercise
increased, individually, chances of
Alzheimer’s disease decreased, and
when participants combined good diet
and exercise, chances for AD were 60
percent lower.
