While no diet can fully reverse dementia, proper nutrition plays a crucial role in brain health. Diets rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, and essential nutrients may slow cognitive decline. The Mediterranean and MIND diets, for example, emphasize brain-boosting foods like leafy greens, berries, and fish. Eating well supports overall well-being and may help maintain cognitive function longer.
