Making Space for Mindfulness

I'm a couples therapist. This is the 1 thing I never do in my relationship

After three years of a surviving pandemic, you may feel like you're more exhausted and stressed out than ever — and that the strength of your relationships, romantic and otherwise, has been tested.

One Small Thing

Real ways to make a difference in your life, one small thing at a time.

These foods could reduce your risk of dementia — even if it runs in your family

A new study finds the Mediterranean diet — known for including a way array of accessible and delicious foods, like fish, whole grains, veggies and legumes — can lower the risk of dementia, even for people who have a family history of the disease.

The study tracked the eating habits and health of more than 60,000 people 60 years old and above for nine years and found that those that ate only a Mediterranean diet had almost 25% less of a risk of developing dementia, NBC News medical contributor Dr. Natalie Azar told TODAY.

According to Azar, this means a diet heavy in these foods:

• Fresh fruits: blueberries, apples, oranges, pears, figs
• Vegetables: broccoli, carrots, kale, tomatoes, fennel
• Whole grains: brown rice, quinoa, bulgur
• Nuts and seeds: walnuts, almonds, pistachios, pumpkin seeds
• Legumes: lentils, beans, peas
• Fish: wild salmon, tuna, sardines
• Extra virgin olive oil

 Unlike some more restrictive eating plans, the Mediterranean diet celebrates the pleasure of eating while keeping you healthy. Read more about how to use healthy eating to lower your risk of developing dementia.
