Track the MIND diet food groups each week
Track the MIND diet food groups: leafy greens six times a week, berries twice, nuts, beans, whole grains, fish and poultry, with limits on red meat, butter, cheese and sweets.
The MIND diet (Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay) combines the Mediterranean and DASH patterns around foods studied for brain health. AumniVIDA counts its food groups per day or per week from your logged meals. Serving sizes are AumniVIDA's own conversions and are labelled as such.
The targets
AumniVIDA scores these from your logged meals and measurements, and shows the evidence grade for each protocol.
Targets
- Leafy greens: at least 6 servings a week (40 g each)
- Vegetables: at least 1 serving a day (80 g)
- Berries: at least 2 servings a week (75 g each)
- Nuts: at least 5 servings a week (30 g each)
- Beans: at least 4 servings a week (90 g each)
- Whole grains: at least 48 g a day (dry weight)
- Fish: at least 1 serving a week (100 g)
- Poultry: at least 2 servings a week (100 g each)
Limits
- Red meat and products: under 4 servings a week (100 g each)
- Butter and animal fats: under 14 g a day (1 tbsp)
- Cheese: under 1 serving a week (30 g)
- Pastries and sweets: under 5 servings a week (50 g each)
How AumniVIDA follows it with your data
- See your week. Check each food group against its target, with the limits shown as less often, never as forbidden.
- Close the gaps. The coach suggests leafy greens, berries, nuts and beans from foods you already eat.
- Keep the evidence visible. Brain health appears as an exploratory dimension with its evidence grade.
Follow up to five protocols on the free plan, or the full library with Pro. Rank them, and when two protocols disagree, the higher-ranked one guides the app.
The evidence
An observational study (2015) linked the MIND diet with lower Alzheimer's incidence. The 2023 MIND trial in the New England Journal of Medicine found no difference in cognitive decline against a control diet with the same calorie restriction. AumniVIDA says so when you ask, and does not promise cognitive protection.

Before you start
Do not start drinking wine for this protocol. Talk to your clinician about any concern with memory or cognition. AumniVIDA explains your data for general wellness; diagnosis and treatment decisions stay with you and your clinician.
