brain as well, according to a new <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130720100228/http://jnnp.bmj.com/content/early/2013/04/19/jnnp-2012-304792">study</a>.</p> <p>Researchers in Spain followed more than 1,000 people for six and a half years, and found that participants who were on a Mediterranean diet and supplemented that diet with extra nuts or olive oil performed better on cognitive tests at the end of the study period than the control group, which followed a lower-fat diet. The study was published Monday in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry.</p> <p>"We found that a Mediterranean diet with olive oil was able to reduce low-grade inflammation associated with a high risk of vascular disease and cognitive impairments," said Dr. Miguel Martinez-Gonzalez, the chairman of preventive medicine at the University of Navarra in Spain and a study author.</p> <p>The Mediterranean diet is devoid of processed foods and bad fats, and high in whole grains, nuts, fruits and vegetables, legumes, fish and even red wine - all things that are high in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds. These types of foods are known to help reduce vascular (circulatory) damage, inflammation and oxidative (free radical) damage in the brain. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130720100228/http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2013/05/21/mediterranean-diet-is-brain-food/" class="more-link">FULL POST</a></p> </div> <div class="cnnPostFooter"> <table> <tr> <td> <div class="cnn_mugshot"> </div> </td> <td valign="top" class="cnn_padb20 cnn_author_info"> <span class="cnnBlogFiledBy">Post by:</span> <span class="cnn_author"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130720100228/http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/tag/matt-sloane-cnn-medical-producer/" rel="tag">Matt Sloane - CNN Medical Producer</a></span> <br/><span class="cnnBlogFiledBy cnn_categories">Filed under: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130720100228/http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/category/brain/" title="View all posts in Brain" rel="category tag">Brain</a> • <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130720100228/http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/category/000-sections/diet-and-fitness/" title="View all posts in Diet and Fitness" rel="category tag">Diet and Fitness</a> • <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130720100228/http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/category/inside-your-brain/" title="View all posts in Inside Your Brain" rel="category tag">Inside Your Brain</a> • <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130720100228/http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/category/obesity/" title="View all posts in Obesity" rel="category tag">Obesity</a></span> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </div> <div class="cnn_clear"></div> <div class="cnn-large-embed "></div></div> </div> <hr class="cnn-post-separator"/>   <div class="cnnPostWrap cnn_wh1600_post_separator"> <div class="cnnWideImage"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130720100228/http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2013/05/02/kids-brains-can-predict-math-tutor-benefit/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130720100228im_/http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/dam/assets/120504053932-students-classroom-elementary-school-story-top.jpg" width="640" height="360" title="Kids’ brains can predict math tutor benefit" alt="Kids’ brains can predict math tutor benefit"/></a> </div> <div class="post-46405 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-inside-your-brain category-living-well tag-elizabeth-landau-cnncom-health-writerproducer cnn_ie7_background_fix"> <div class="cnnLeftPost"> <div class="cnnFcIcon"></div> <div class="cnnBlogContentDateHead"> May 2nd, 2013 </div> <div class="cnnGryTmeStmp">07:02 AM ET</div> <div class="cnn_share_links"> <div class="cnnOverlayMenuContainer"> <div id="cnnShare46405" class="cnnOverlayMenu"> <div class="cnnShareThisBox"> <div class="cnnShareBoxHeader"><div class="cnnShareBoxHeaderTL"></div><div class="cnnShareBoxHeaderTR"></div></div> <div class="cnnShareBoxContent"> <div class="cnnShareContent"> <div class="cnn_share_this_content"> <div class="cnnShareThisTitle"> <a href="javascript:cnnHideOverlay('cnnShare46405');"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130720100228im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/img/2.0/global/icons/btn_close.gif" alt="Close" title="Close" width="12" height="12"/></a><span>Share this on:</span> </div> <div class="cnnShareThisItem"> <a class="cnnShareFacebook" title="Share Kids’ brains can predict math tutor benefit on Facebook" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130720100228/http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fthechart.blogs.cnn.com%2F2013%2F05%2F02%2Fkids-brains-can-predict-math-tutor-benefit%2F" target="_blank">Facebook</a> </div> <div class="cnnShareThisItem"> <a class="cnnShareTwitter" title="Share Kids’ brains can predict math tutor benefit on Twitter" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130720100228/https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=http%3A%2F%2Fthechart.blogs.cnn.com%2F2013%2F05%2F02%2Fkids-brains-can-predict-math-tutor-benefit%2F&text=Kids’%20brains%20can%20predict%20math%20tutor%20benefit&hashtags=cnn" target="_blank">Twitter</a> </div> <div class="cnnShareThisItem"> <a class="cnnShareDigg" title="Share Kids’ brains can predict math tutor benefit on Digg" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130720100228/http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=http%3A%2F%2Fthechart.blogs.cnn.com%2F2013%2F05%2F02%2Fkids-brains-can-predict-math-tutor-benefit%2F" target="_blank">Digg</a> </div> <div class="cnnShareThisItem"> <a class="cnnShareDelicious" title="Share Kids’ brains can predict math tutor benefit on del.icio.us" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130720100228/http://del.icio.us/post" onclick="window.open('https://web.archive.org/web/20130720100228/http://del.icio.us/post?v=4&partner=cnn&noui&jump=close&url=http%3A%2F%2Fthechart.blogs.cnn.com%2F2013%2F05%2F02%2Fkids-brains-can-predict-math-tutor-benefit%2F','toolbar=no,width=700,height=400');

Extra tutoring doesn't always help either, but for some it helps a lot. Why?</p> <p>Researchers, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130720100228/http://www.pnas.org/cgi/doi/10.1073/pnas.1222154110">publishing this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences</a>, believe the answer is in the brain. By looking at the structures and wiring of children's brains, they've developed a method of predicting who will benefit most from tutoring.</p> <p>This doesn't mean, however, that you will be seeing brain scans in every school.</p> <p>"What we’ve done is much more modest, in terms of trying to understand what are the systems that underlie individual differences in response to math tutoring," said Vinod Menon, professor at Stanford University School of Medicine and senior author of the study.<br/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130720100228/http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2013/05/02/kids-brains-can-predict-math-tutor-benefit/" class="more-link">FULL POST</a></p> </div> <div class="cnnPostFooter"> <table> <tr> <td> <div class="cnn_mugshot"> </div> </td> <td valign="top" class="cnn_padb20 cnn_author_info"> <span class="cnnBlogFiledBy">Post by:</span> <span class="cnn_author"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130720100228/http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/tag/elizabeth-landau-cnncom-health-writerproducer/" rel="tag">Elizabeth Landau - CNN.com Health Writer/Producer</a></span> <br/><span class="cnnBlogFiledBy cnn_categories">Filed under: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130720100228/http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/category/inside-your-brain/" title="View all posts in Inside Your Brain" rel="category tag">Inside Your Brain</a> • <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130720100228/http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/category/000-sections/living-well/" title="View all posts in Living Well" rel="category tag">Living Well</a></span> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </div> <div class="cnn_clear"></div> <div class="cnn-large-embed "></div></div> </div> <hr class="cnn-post-separator"/>  <div class="cnnPostNavigation cnn_post_navigation cnn_post_navigation_home"> <div class="cnn_clear"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130720100228im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/img/3.0/1px.gif" alt=""/></div> </div> </div>  </td> <td class="cnnRRStruct cnnWireLtgBox-rightside" valign="top" width="337" align="left">  <div id="cnnRightCol" class="cnn_right_col"> <div class="cnnRRBox"><div class="cnnRRBoxHeader"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130720100228im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/img/2.0/mosaic/base_skins/right_rail/grey_corner_TL.gif" width="4" height="4" alt=""></div><div class="cnnRRBoxContent"><div class="cnn_pksz_tp_hck"></div>    <div id="ad-140440" align="center" style="padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0;"></div><script>cnnad_createAd("140440","https://web.archive.org/web/20130720100228/http://ads.cnn.com/html.ng/site=cnn&cnn_pagetype=blog&cnn_position=336x280_rgt&cnn_rollup=health&cnn_section=the_chart&page.allowcompete=no&params.styles=fs","280","336");cnnad_registerSpace(140440,336,280);</script> <div class="cnn_adtitle"><img height="5" width="58" alt="Advertisement" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130720100228im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/img/3.0/global/misc/advertisement.gif"></div>   <div id="cnn-gupta-viewer" class="cnn-rrsm-twtr cnn-gupta-viewer" style="display:none;"> <div class="cnn-title"> <div class="cnn-nav"> <img id="cnn-gupta-prev" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130720100228im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/img/3.0/1px.gif" alt="Previous"/> <img id="cnn-gupta-next" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130720100228im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/img/3.0/1px.gif" alt="Next"/> </div> Dr. Sanjay Gupta </div> <div id="cnn-gupta-viewport" class="cnn-viewport"> <div id="cnn-gupta-container" class="cnn-container">  <div class="cnn-slab"> <div class="cnn-avatar"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130720100228im_/http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/img/3.0/1px.gif" alt="Avatar icon"/> </div> <div class="cnn-tweet"> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td> DrSanjayGupta: Need a new hip?
