Replacing fish with beef or chicken in Mediterranean diet could give even more benefits to the brain

Daily Mail  

Including beef, chicken or pork in your Mediterranean diet could help stave off Alzheimer's, a study suggests. Researchers from the University of California, San Diego, found that a modified version of the famous diet that incorporated foods from the typical low-carb, high fat, keto diet reduced levels of a neurotransmitter in the brain linked with cognitive decline. Researchers found that a Mediterranean diet that uses beef or chicken instead of fish could be more valuable to the brain in people with cognitive issues The Mediterranean diet features a heavy dose of fish, nuts, berries, whole grains and other goods. The researchers found levels of GABA and its associated microbes were lowest after a person had eaten the modified Keto-Mediterranean diet in people who already had some cognitive impairments.
