Danielle Logan and Christina O’Neill attended the Balmoral Show in Spring 2024, engaging with members of the public at the QUB stand to highlight some of the current research being carried out in the School of Biological Sciences and the Centre for Public Health. They also provided information on the MIND diet which combines the Mediterranean diet and the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet with a focus on foods for better brain health.

The researchers provided information on brain boosting foods such as olive oil, berries, oily fish, green leafy vegetables, and wholegrains. The researchers also helped members of the public calculate their own MIND diet scores and identify any dietary changes they could make to help look after their brain.
