The MIND diet's folate-rich profile, including whole grains and vegetables, reduces PCOS risk by addressing insulin resistance and raising homocysteine levels.

Published in BMC Women's Health, a recent study by Mina Darand found that higher adherence to the MIND diet is linked to a reduced risk of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

This study aimed to explore the association of the MIND (Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay) diet with PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome), a leading cause of ovulatory infertility and endocrine issues in reproductive-age women.

Derived from the Mediterranean DASH diet, the MIND diet is rich in beneficial food groups, mainly the foods for a healthy brain (such as green leafy vegetables, whole grains, beans, wine, berries, olive oil, fish and chicken) beneficial against metabolic diseases.

This case-control study included 216 women with PCOS matched for age and BMI and diagnosed based on the Rotterdam criteria. Dietary intake was estimated using a validated food frequency questionnaire. Commitment to a MIND diet is inversely associated with the risk of PCOS in women. In crude and multivariable-adjusted models, adherence to the MIND diet was associated with a 92% reduction in PCOS risk. However, larger-scale mechanism-based investigations are needed to confirm these results, the study authors suggested.
