When we are hungry, the hormone gherlin stimulates the brain, which means that we notice food cues more. More than half of British adults try to lose weight by controlling their calorie intake each year. Rising rates of obesity mean that many more of us are turning to diets to lose weight. But rigid dieting rules are problematic, as any eating behaviour that does not rely on the physiological signals of hunger increases the risk of overeating. Sensory food cues like these can be difficult to ignore and aren't just triggered by taste or smell – advertising or brand logos can tempt us in, too.

Diet to prevent dementia - ten foods you should eat on the MIND diet

Processed foods, fried and fast foods, snack foods, red meat, poultry and whole-fat dairy foods are infrequently eaten on the Mediterranean diet. Numerous studies have shown the Mediterranean diet, which includes high levels of vegetable fats like olive oil, is linked to reduced mortality, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Experts also say eating like the Greeks with lashings of olive oil can protect against the onset of mental decline and even protect against dementia. The Mediterranean diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, olive oil and fish but now experts believe there is an even better diet for people to stick to. Researchers have found eating foods included in two healthy diets — the Mediterranean or the MIND diet— is linked to a lower risk for memory difficulties in older adults, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.
