Could we start by focusing on the MIND diet? What is the MIND diet?

The MIND diet is an acronym of two other diets that were studied in various population studies.

The first is the Mediterranean diet.

The Mediterranean diet refers to the general diet that is adhered to by people living around the Mediterranean Sea in the south of France, Italy, Greece, North African countries.

And their traditional diet, the Mediterranean diet, is lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits and vegetables of all different colors, protein, derived predominantly from fish, lean poultry, very little red meat, and the addition of berries, nuts, and particularly a lot of olive oil instead of saturated fats.

And we've known for a long time that people that adhere to the Mediterranean diet have a reduction in cardiovascular problems, reduction in heart attacks, reduction in stroke, and they live longer.

They live longer than the average person.
