As the name implies, the MIND Diet claims to improve brain function. By combining the Mediterranean and DASH diets, MIND aims to reduce the risk of dementia and keep the brain sharp. It promotes foods that scientifically encourage brain health.

MIND stands for Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay. In 2015, researchers documented foods that help and harm the brain. On the MIND Diet, people avoid butter, fried food, sugar, red meat, and cheese. They eat whole grains, legumes, olive oil, nuts, berries, vegetables, and the occasional drink.
