Brain Food

If you're ready to beef up your brain, eating the right foods is essential. By including the proper foods in your diet, you enable yourself to learn better and enjoy better memory.
Foods that boost your brain's potential include the following:
  • salmon
  • walnuts
  • kiwi
  • blueberries
  • spinach
  • orange juice
  • strawberries
  • other foods with omega-3 fatty acids, folic acid, and vitamin B
In addition to helping your brainpower today, researchers have found that eating the right foods can also help you ward off many frightening conditions, including dementia, schizophrenia, depression, and mood disorders. Don't eat these foods, and you could actually be increasing your risk for these conditions and others. For the most effective brain-boosting diet, try eating smaller food portions at each meal, even if that means you have to consume more meals than the usual three a day.
