A study by Columbia University reveals that a healthy diet contributes to a lower risk of dementia and slower aging, with the MIND diet specifically showing significant benefits. This relationship is partly mediated by a deceleration in the biological aging process, highlighting the importance of dietary choices in cognitive health and longevity. Further research is needed to fully understand the underlying mechanisms.
While literature had suggested that people who followed a healthy diet experienced a slowdown in the processes of biological aging and were less likely to develop dementia, until now the biological mechanism of this protection was not well understood.
“Testing the hypothesis that multi-system biological aging is a mechanism of underlying diet-dementia associations was the logical next step,” explained Belsky. The research determined that higher adherence to the Mediterranean-Dash Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay diet slowed the pace of aging as measured by DunedinPACE and reduced risks for dementia and mortality.
