Individuals who adhere more strictly to the MIND diet exhibit a slower rate of brain shrinkage and less gray matter loss over time.

The most significant differences observed correspond to approximately 2.5 years of delayed brain aging, according to the analyzed data.

Among the foods associated with healthier brain changes are berries and white meats, whereas the consumption of sweets and fried fast food is linked to greater brain tissue loss.
