Meals inspired by traditional Mediterranean foods can reduce the risk of showing degeneracy and loss of memory, according to a new study.

“Tests continue to show that you are what you eat when it comes to brain health”, Dr. Richard Isaacson, who runs Alzheimer's Prevention Clinic at Neil Cornell Medicine and New York-Pressbytherian Hospital.

In this important study, researchers showed that it is possible not only to improve the cognitive function more specifically ʹ memory, but also to reduce the risk to Alzheimer's”, said Isaacson, who was not involved in the study.

In January 2020, for the third consecutive year, the Mediterranean diet, rich in healthy fats, fish, cereals and poor in processed foods and red meat, was declared the best diet in the world by US News & World Report.

Mediterranean diet has left behind many familiar diets, such as these or vegans, and is also described as the easiest diet to carry. This diet was introduced for the first time in 1993 along with its food pyramid. There is no fixed list of products because each region of the Mediterranean Sea adapts to gastronomic tradition.

The Mediterranean region, which includes our country, is the wide range of food: vegetables, fruits, seeds, cereals, olive oil, yogurt, cheese, fish, eggs, and wine. The secret of the Mediterranean diet lies in the freshness of food; they must be bio and season.
