Description
Jennifer Ventrelle and co-authors examine in 2025 how diet quality at the start of a large lifestyle trial lines up with brain, body, and mental health. The diet in question blends Mediterranean and blood pressure friendly patterns, stressing leafy greens, berries, fish, and whole grains. It is a core part of a US trial of combined lifestyle change for brain protection.
The trial enrolled 2,112 people with an average age of about 68. The team compared diet screener scores with tests of memory and thinking, physical measures, and mood. Links at the starting line matter because they shape how later gains should be read. If keen eaters start healthier, the trial must part that edge from the program's own effect.
