Summary

This study tests whether following the MIND diet—rich in olive oil, fish, vegetables, and whole grains—for one year can protect brain health and reduce symptoms in people with multiple sclerosis. One hundred participants will be randomly assigned to either the diet or continue their usual eating habits. Researchers will measure nerve damage through blood tests and track fatigue and other symptoms.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a dietary approach to help manage MS symptoms and slow nerve damage.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 100 participants. Diet changes can be hard to stick with, and results may not apply to everyone with MS.
