Eat like the Greeks to keep your mind sharp

Researchers have found that the Mediterranean diet can protect against memory loss.

A study found people who eat a Mediterranean-style diet may be less likely to experience declines in their memory and thinking skills.

The diet consists of plant-based foods such as vegetables, legumes, fruit, nuts, seeds and olives, extra virgin olive oil, fish, with moderate red wine intake.
