Methods: We devised the Mediterranean-Dietary Approach to Systolic Hypertension (DASH) diet intervention for neurodegenerative delay (MIND) diet score that specifically captures dietary compo- nents shown to be neuroprotective and related it to change in cognition over an average 4.7 years among 960 participants of the Memory and Aging Project. Results: In adjusted mixed models, the MIND score was positively associated with slower decline in global cognitive score (b 5 0.0092; P , .0001) and with each of five cognitive domains. The differ- ence in decline rates for being in the top tertile of MIND diet scores versus the lowest was equivalent to being 7.5 years younger in age. Discussion: The study findings suggest that the MIND diet substantially slows cognitive decline with age.

  • Lessons from Early Implementation of Pandemic-EBT
    October 8, 2020 Lessons From Early Implementation of Pandemic-EBT Opportunities to Strengthen Rollout for School Year 2020-2021 By Zoë Neuberger, Crystal FitzSimons, Dottie Rosenbaum, and Etienne Melcher Philbin1 Before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, nearly 30 million low-income children were approved to receive free or reduced-price meals at school each day. When schools closed, parents, administrators, and policymakers worried about how families would provide these children with ten extra meals each week even as workers’ earnings and jobs were disappearing. One key way federal policymakers responded was by promptly enacting Pandemic EBT (P-EBT) in March 2020, an entirely new program that allowed states to provide approximately $250 to $450 per child in grocery benefits (depending on the average number of days schools closed in the state) to make up for the meals missed in the spring of 2020.2 The goal of P-EBT was simple: while schools are closed, to provide families whose children qualified for free or reduced-price meals with the funds that otherwise would have gone to schools to provide them with breakfast and lunch. But this was an entirely new program, requiring collaboration across the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly food stamps) and school meal programs, data matching, and the mailing of millions of benefit cards. Though P-EBT was optional for states and the Department of Agriculture (USDA) required them to bear half of the administrative costs, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the Virgin Islands rose to the challenge — even as they were dealing with countless other pandemic-related demands, changes, uncertainties, and costs.

  • Comparison of Barriers and Facilitators of MIND Diet Uptake Among Adults from Northern Ireland and Italy Deirdre Timlin1, Barbara Giannantoni2, Jacqueline M
    Timlin et al. BMC Public Health (2021) 21:265 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-021-10307-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Comparison of barriers and facilitators of MIND diet uptake among adults from Northern Ireland and Italy Deirdre Timlin1, Barbara Giannantoni2, Jacqueline M. McCormack3, Angela Polito2, Donatella Ciarapica2, Elena Azzini2, Melanie Giles4 and Ellen E. A. Simpson4* Abstract Background: The aim of the study was to identify and compare components of the COM-B (capability, opportunity, motivation and behaviour) model, that influences behaviour to modify dietary patterns in 40–55-year olds living in Northern Ireland (NI) and Italy, in order to reduce the risk of cognitive decline in later life. Methods: This was a qualitative study examining factors influencing Mediterranean-DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet behaviour. This study further elaborated the COM-B components into the 14 domains of the Theoretical Domains Framework to further understand behaviour. Twenty-five Northern Irish and Italian participants were recruited onto the study, to take part in either a focus group or an interview. Participants were both male and female aged between 40 and 55 years. Results: Thematic analysis revealed that the main barriers to the uptake of the MIND diet were; time, work environment (opportunity), taste preference and convenience (motivation). Culture (motivation), seasonal foods and lack of family support (opportunity) to be a barrier to the Italian sample only. The main facilitators reported were; improved health, memory, planning and organisation (motivation) and access to good quality food (opportunity). Cooking skills, knowledge (capability) and heathy work lunch (opportunity) reported as a facilitator to the Italian sample only.

  • Can Popular Diets Make Your Brain Healthier?
    NUTRITION JUNE/JULY 2017 BY MARISA COHEN Can Popular Diets Make Your Brain Healthier? Can the foods you eat enhance brain health, or even help manage a neurologic condition? We spoke to the experts and reviewed the evidence to find the answers. We eat for energy, for sustenance, and for pleasure. But what we put in our mouths—carbohydrates or fats, whole foods or processed snacks—may also have a significant effect on our brains. iSTOCKPHOTO/JACEPHOTO For at least the last century, doctors and researchers have seen a correlation between diet and the management of neurologic conditions such as epilepsy, dementia, and stroke. And while no single ingredient can magically cure neurologic diseases—no matter what you may read on the internet—several well-studied diet plans have been associated with a positive effect on the brain. "Growing and compelling evidence from large longitudinal studies and randomized trials suggests that diet matters for brain health," says Alberto Ascherio, MD, DrPh, professor of nutrition and epidemiology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. "But a lot remains to be discovered," he adds. "We need studies that also take into account existing diseases, neurologic and otherwise, as well as lifestyle, environment, physiological characteristics such as age, sex, and body mass, and genes. Because Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other neurodegenerative diseases develop over decades, maximal benefits will require early and prolonged dietary changes." In general, more studies need to be conducted to see how diet may affect the underlying processes of neurologic conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, says Jennifer Rose Molano, MD, FAAN, associate professor of neurology at Cincinnati Academic Health Center.

    TM Meal Replacement Program Meal Replacement Program is useful in weight reduction only as part of an energy-reduced diet. HELPS YOU FEEL FULL LONGER BRINGS BLOOD SUGAR TO NORMAL LEVELS LOWERS CHOLESTEROL The Real Easy Program – Achieve Your Ideal Shape! Losing weight has never been easier Have you tried every other diet plan and failed? Take heart! You CAN attain and maintain your ideal weight, with the Real Easy Program, guaranteed. The Real Easy Program is different. It is clinically proven, and is a completely safe, natural, and a highly effective way to achieve and maintain your weight loss goals. The RealEasy™ with PGX meal replacement shakes will greatly diminish appetite, so you will eat less, making weight loss almost effortless. Most fad diets and weight loss products fail in the long term as they cause lean muscle mass loss, thereby slowing your body’s metabolism and making it much more likely that you will regain all of the weight that you have lost (and often even more!). Moreover, many diets result in rapid loss of body water which fools the dieter into thinking that they have lost more fat than they really have. False weight loss through water loss is always an accompaniment of fasting or low-carbohydrate diets! When normal eating resumes, the dieter is disappointed when their weight quickly rebounds due to their low metabolism and the regaining of body water. By contrast, a weight loss study using RealEasy with PGX meal replacements from December to February, possibly the most difficult time of year to lose weight, resulted in participants losing body fat and achieving their weight loss goals.
