The eating plan, called MIND, combines an established Mediterranean diet with DASH – Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (high blood pressure, which can lead to heart attacks and strokes).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It beat off established rivals such as Weight Watchers in the list of the best diets for 2016.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unlike other weight-loss fads and trends, the MIND diet was specifically devised by epidemiologists from a leading medical school in a bid to ward off dementia symptoms in later life.</div>
