#MINDDiet #cooking

Salad Niçoise without the green beans or capers. (And with yellow peppers) Surprised how much I enjoyed this!

(PS… I didn’t come to mastodon to post about food, but here it is.) 😉

So for those of you keen on moving towards the #MINDDiet (combo of #mediterraneandiet and #DASHdiet), I highly recommend this bean stew.

A bean eater I’m not but it was good!

We ate it with homemade Seeded Multigrain Sourdough, gremolata and a plate of olive 🫒 oil drizzled with balsamic vinegar.

As good as any Italian restaurant I haven’t been to since Covid started. 
Really it’s the recipe, not me! 😂

“It is now clear that some #diets are particularly good for the brain. One recent study concludes that sticking to the “#MediterraneanDiet”, high in #vegetables, #fruit, #pulses and #wholegrains, low in red and processed meats and saturated fats, decreases the chances of experiencing #strokes, #cognitiveimpairment and #depression. Other recent work looking at a “green” Mediterranean diet high in #polyphenols (the #antioxidants found in things like green tea) found it reduced age-related brain #atrophy. Another version, the #minddiet, emphasises, among other things, eating #berries over other kinds of fruit and seems to lessen the risk of #dementia.” #plantbased #plantbaseddiet https://www.economist.com/christmas-specials/2022/12/20/how-food-affects-the-mind-as-well-as-the-body
