We all want to believe that what we eat can protect our brains as we age. The evidence on the Mind diet, with its emphasis on vegetables, berries, fish and olive oil, is genuinely encouraging, with one major study linking it to greater grey matter and less brain volume loss in older adults.

It is well known in nutrition science that people who eat well tend to be healthy in other ways, too, which can bias the outcome.

Plus, there is very little downside to eating more berries, fish and olive oil.
