8 Common Foods that Boost your Brain Power
A1. Blueberries – Are believed to improve or delay short
term memory loss.
A2. Foods that are rich in essential fatty acids reduce
your risk of developing memory loss. They are found in linseed (flaxseed) oil,
soya bean oil, pumpkin seeds, walnut oil, soya beans, and oily fish (such as
salmon, trout, mackerel, herring, sardines, pilchards and kippers.)
A3. Blackcurrants are a rich source of vitamin C – which
is thought to increase cognitive agility.
A4. Tomatoes – Are rich in the antioxidant lycopene. This
may protect against free radical damage to cells (which is associated with the
development of dementia.)
A5. Vitamin B6, B5 and folic acid are found in brewer’s
yeast, egg yolks, meat, berries, and green leafy vegetables. They help protect
against cognitive impairment.
A6. Pumpkin seeds are rich in zinc – which is crucial for
improving memory and thinking skills.
A7. Nuts, leafy green vegetables, asparagus, olives,
seeds, eggs, brown rice and wholegrains are all good sources of vitamin E. This
helps to fight against cognitive decline.
A8. Wholegrains – Like brown cereals, wheatbran, granary
bread and wholemeal pasta slowly release glucose into the bloodstream. These
help to keep you mentally alert throughout the day.
