Best diets of 2025: find out who dominated the global rankings!

4. MIND Diet

Ranking fourth on U.S. News & World Report's list of the best diets of 2025 is the MIND Diet, which stands for "Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay". This dietary regimen combines elements of the Mediterranean Diet and the DASH Diet, focusing on foods that support brain health. The MIND Diet emphasizes the consumption of berries, green leafy vegetables, nuts and fish, with the goal of reducing cognitive decline and preventing neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. Studies have shown that following the MIND Diet can slow cognitive decline, equivalent to keeping a brain 7.5 years younger (source: gazette.co.uk).

3. FLEXITARIAN Diet.

The Flexitarian Diet ranks third in the top best diets of 2025. This dietary approach offers the best of two worlds: a predominantly vegetarian diet enhanced by the flexibility to occasionally include meat and fish. The diet promotes abundant consumption of plant-based foods, such as legumes, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, while allowing moderate inclusion of animal products. This balance makes the Flexitarian Diet not only a healthy choice for the body, but also a more sustainable solution for the environment, easily adapting to those who wish to reduce their ecological impact without completely giving up the pleasures of meat.
