Everyone knows that healthy eating is good. But do you know
that there are specific foods which can keep your brain active and working
well? Health Briefs explains.
There are certain vitamins and minerals in food which are
beneficial to how our minds work. Foods with antioxidants are especially useful
in warding off memory problems and dementia. Blueberries are considered a
superfood because they are rich in antioxidants. They reduce the oxidative
stress on the brain and have been proven to improve learning skills and motor
skills. Toss a handful of blueberries in a fiber-rich cereal, in a single
service size container of Greek yogurt or pop a few in your mouth instead of
some chips.
Citrus fruits are also good for preventing cognitive
decline. There are so many ways to include some citrus in your daily meals: squeeze
some lime juice in a small bowl and add some cracked pepper for a zippy salad
dressing. Squeeze some orange or lemon juice in a glass of ice water for a
fresh taste. Citrus fruits are not expensive and also helpful when trying to
lose weight.
Almonds are packed with protein and Vitamin E which not only
help you feel full but pack some power into cognitive decline prevention and
memory loss. They are also a great quick mid-afternoon snack and are easy to
store in small baggies for work or travel.
Health Briefs TV suggests eating at least one serving of an
omega-3 fatty fish per week. Salmon is a good choice and is readily available
in most stores. The omega-3’s in them prevent cognitive decline and act as an
inflammation reducer. Eat healthy and fight off dementia at the same time,
readers.
