The MIND diet limits servings of red meat, sweets, cheese, butter/margarine and fast/fried food.

this article lists a lot of evidence that it helps the brain

so i have been on the mind diet for at least the last 10 years
does it help 
does it make a difference in my memory 
i hope so 
i think it does
especially when i add it to the other things i do
like
take aricept (donepezil)
control my weight blood pressure and cholesterol
stay active mentally physically and socially 
try to get adequate sleep
avoid stress 

what if i had eaten like this when i was 40 or 30 or 20 or 10 or all my life
would i be where i am today with my diagnosis
maybe
maybe not

the evidence is that doing those healthy things including eating a mind like diet can lower your risk in some studies by almost 50%

if you are art risk for alzheimers then your kids are and your grandkids are
make sure they are on a mind diet

the mind diet also helps to prevent diabetes heart disease stroke cancer 

i am not really sure why you wouldnt follow this mind diet 
right
