There's even more evidence that one type of diet is the best for your body and brain

But a growing body of evidence suggests that a plant-based diet - which focuses on vegetables while incorporating whole grains and lean proteins - reigns supreme. But plant-based diets aren't just good for the brain - they have key benefits for the body as well. The MIND diet emphasizes green leafy vegetables, nuts, berries, beans, whole grains, seafood, poultry, olive oil, and wine. Plant-based diets also tend to reduce the risk of certain diseases including heart disease, diabetes, and some types of cancer. The Mediterranean diet is rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, nuts, olive oil, and fish; it's low in red meat, processed foods, poultry, and dairy.

Vitamin E-deficient embryos are cognitively impaired even after diet improves

Corresponding author Maret Traber and collaborators at OSU compared offspring from fish on vitamin E-deficient diets - the E-minus group - with those on vitamin E-adequate diets, the E-plus fish. For the next seven days, all of the normal-looking fish, irrespective of diet history, were fed a vitamin E-adequate diet. These outcomes suggest embryonic vitamin E deficiency in zebrafish causes lasting impairments that aren't resolved via later dietary vitamin E supplementation. It takes awhile to get vitamin E into the brain to protect it, and this has me concerned about teenage girls who eat inadequate diets and get pregnant." Credit: Oregon State University Zebrafish deficient in vitamin E produce offspring beset by behavioral impairment and metabolic problems, new research at Oregon State University shows.

But a growing body of evidence suggests that a plant-based diet -- which focuses on vegetables while incorporating whole grains and lean proteins -- reigns supreme. But plant-based diets aren't just good for the brain -- they have key benefits for the body as well. Plant-based diets are "good for the environment, your heart, your weight, and your overall health," according to US News and World Report's most recent report on the best eating plans. The MIND diet emphasizes green leafy vegetables, nuts, berries, beans, whole grains, seafood, poultry, olive oil, and wine. Plant-based diets also tend to reduce the risk of certain diseases including heart disease, diabetes, and some types of cancer.
