Virtual CEU Event: Fighting Dementia with Food

Join Brookdale Senior Living for a virtual event covering the Mediterranean and MIND diets and the potential health and cognitive benefits and review strategies for implementing these diets with older adults on Thursday, July 16. 

Research shows eating a Mediterranean diet can offer a protective effect on brain health and is associated with a decreased rate of cognitive decline. It's also effective in reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The MIND diet is a combination of the Mediterranean and DASH eating patterns and encourages many plant-based foods in addition to fish and poultry.

Following this presentation the participant will be able to:

• Identify the main dietary components of the MIND and Mediterranean diets
• Describe at least two potential health benefits of eating a Mediterranean-style diet
• List at least two examples of strategies for incorporating MIND and Mediterranean diet elements into daily meals
• Describe how to apply the MIND and/or Mediterranean diet elements to the older adult
