Researchers analyzed the effects of a Mediterranean diet on cognitive impairment among patients with MS. They found that closer adherence to the
Mediterranean diet was linked to a lower risk of cognitive impairment. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune condition that affects the
brain and central nervous system. Symptoms include fatigue, mobility problems, and numbness. Around 2.8 million people suffer with MS worldwide,
and females are twice as likely than men to have the condition.Studies show that certain diets and other lifestyle factors may improve the quality of life for patients. The cause of MS is still unknown, and there
is currently no cure. Treatments typically focus on symptom relief and slowing progression.
