The MIND diet is a eating pattern that combines the Mediterranean and DASH eating pattern to prevent dementia or loss of brain function as we age. MIND stands for Mediterranean-DASH intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay….MIND is easier to remember.
For now the MIND eating pattern encourages more of 10 specific foods and to eat less of 5 particular foods.
(Those last five food that the MIND diet limits is because of the saturated and trans fat so prevalent in them.)
Anyway it is something to think about………………
As a side bar from my perspective it is kind of cool to see that the healthy eating guidelines are beginning to be similar whether it is the Mediterranean diet, DASH diet, American Heart Association guidelines or the MIND eating pattern. Eat more color, limit the processed foods. Pretty simple guidelines to follow.
Lay the grouper on a large piece of aluminum foil. Spring with the seasonings, olive oil and fresh lemon juice. Heat the grill to medium heat and place the foil on the grill. Grill for 10-12 minutes. Remove the fish. It should be flaky and firm.
