People whose diets contain green leafy vegetables may have fewer proteins in their brains linked to Alzheimer's disease compared to those whose diets do not, a new study suggests.
A study published in Neurology analysed the Mediterranean and MIND diets and how they could play into the risk of Alzheimer's. It found that those who more closely followed the diets - both of which incorporate leafy veg - had fewer plaques and tangles linked to Alzheimer's.
This build-up of proteins that clump together in the brain is a sign of the disease, although scientists said this does not establish a cause and effect relationship.
