  1. Fatty Fish

When we talk about brain foods, fatty fish often comes at the top of the list. Type of fish like salmon, sardines, and trout are all rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids. About 60% of our brain is made of fat and half of its filled with omega-3 kind. Omega 3 fat is very important to build the brain and nerve cells.

Therefore, fatty fish is an excellent choice for your healthy brain. It creates an incredible impact on the brain, especially when it comes to mild memory loss and depression.

  1. Blueberries

Blueberries are the ultimate brain food. They are rich in antioxidants that protect brain cells from oxidative damage, reduce inflammation, and clear toxic proteins that accumulate with age. They also offer memory-boosting agents like anthocyanin and flavonoids. These anthocyanins are responsible for the improvement in cognitive skills, learning skills, and decision making.

This fruit increases “concentration and memory” for up to five hours because the antioxidants stimulate the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain – keeping the mind fresh. It also fights cancer, heart disease, and dementia.

  1. Broccoli

Broccoli is a source of two crucial nutrients, vitamin K and Choline that help improve brain function. Vitamin K helps to strengthen cognitive abilities while Choline has been found to improve memory. People who eat plenty of broccoli perform better on memory tests. Broccoli also includes a sizeable serving of folic acid, which can help ward off Alzheimer’s disease.

Beyond vitamin K and Choline, broccoli also contains a number of compounds that may help protect the brain against damage.

  1. Nuts
