Outside+ Feeling like you can't focus on anything as the craziness of the holidays is starting to ramp up? Facing brain fog that just won't budge? The Mediterranean diet just might be able to help. Sure, eating Mediterranean meals is delicious, but it can also offer you a whole host of health benefits. And one key perk of going Med is better brain health, especially as you age. We've created a new one-week meal plan that's designed to take the go-to foods of the Mediterranean diet and use them to nourish your brain. With brightly-colored plant-based foods, a whole lot of healthy fats and the addition of nuts and seeds, the recipes included in this plan will give you all of the antioxidants, phytochemicals and anti-inflammatory fats you need for a sharper brain and a more focused mind. Plus, they're delicious! Just take a glance at the vibrant Spanish Chickpea & Red Bell Pepper Soup or Mediterranean Salad.
