Dear Savvy Senior,
I’ve heard that there’s a new diet that can help
prevent Alzheimer’s disease. What can you tell

salad greens): Eat at least one serving per
day.
• Other vegetables: At least one other veg-
etable a day.
• Whole grains: Three or more servings a day.
• Nuts: Five one-ounce servings a week.
• Beans: At least three servings a week.
• Berries: Two or more servings a week.
• Fish: Once a week.
• Poultry (not fried): Two times a week.
• Olive oil: Use it as your primary cooking oil.
• Wine: One glass a day.
And the five unhealthy food groups you
should limit include:
• Red meat: Eat fewer than four servings a
week.
• Butter and margarine: Less than a table-
spoon daily.
• Cheese: Less than one serving a week.
• Pastries and sweets: Less than five servings
a week.
• Fried or fast food: Less than one serving a
week.
Other Benefits: One of the best things about
the MIND diet is that it’s easer to follow than
most other diets and you don’t have to stick to
it perfectly to gain the benefits, which makes it
more likely you’ll follow it for a long time. And
the longer you eat the MIND way, the lower the
risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease.
Another advantage is that the MIND diet can
help you lose some weight too, if you keep your
portions in check and are careful about how the
food is prepared.
It’s also important to understand that even
though diet plays a big role, it’s only one aspect
of Alzheimer’s disease. So get regular exercise,
if you smoke, quit, and learn how manage your
stress to lower your risk even more..

suit are the states of Alabama,
Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana,

The MIND diet takes two proven diets - the
heart-healthy Mediterranean diet and the blood-
pressure lowering DASH diet - and zeroes in on
the foods in each that specifically affect brain
health.
The MIND diet, which stands for “Mediter-
ranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative
Delay,” was developed by Martha Clare Morris,
a nutritional epidemiologist at Rush University
Medical Center, through a study funded by the
National Institute on Aging.
The study followed the diets of nearly 1,000
elderly adults, who filled out food questionnaires
and underwent repeated neurological testing for
an average of 4.5 years.
It found participants whose diets most closely
followed the MIND recommendations had brains
that functioned as if they were 7.5 years younger,
and it lowered their risk of developing Alzheim-
er’s disease by as much as 53 percent. And even
those who didn’t stick to the diet perfectly but
followed it moderately well reduced their risk of
Alzheimer’s by 35 percent.
The MIND Menu: The MIND diet has 15
dietary components. The emphasis is on eating
from 10 brain-healthy food groups, and limiting
foods from five unhealthy groups. Here’s a run-
down of the healthy foods you should work into
your diet:
• Green leafy vegetables (like spinach and

Zika numbers reported
The Texas Department of State Health Services
on May 20 announced that Texas has reported
to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control one con-
firmed case of Zika in a pregnant woman who
traveled abroad to an area with Zika transmission.
There have been 12 additional pregnancies in
Texas with laboratory evidence of Zika infection
since tracking and testing for Zika began, but all
of those 12 have come back inconclusive.
The agency said that in order to be reported as
a Zika pregnancy case, a pregnant woman must
exhibit a rash or fever plus at least one other
symptom, and also have a positive Zika-specified
test result.
