Mediterranean memory research

Mediterranean memory research explores how lifestyle factors common in Mediterranean populations—such as healthy diets rich in fruits, vegetables, olive oil, and fish, along with physical activity and social engagement—may protect against cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. Researchers study these populations to identify dietary and behavioral patterns that support brain health, aiming to understand how lifestyle influences memory and cognition over time. This research helps in developing preventive strategies and promoting lifestyle changes that may reduce the risk of dementia worldwide.
