YOUR BRAIN POWER ITS WHAT YOU EAT IN NATURAL FOODS NOT FROM A PILL AS STUDIES FOUND THAT TAKING PILL SUPPLEMENTS IS AKIN TO TAKING PLACEBO VERSUS CONSUMING A DIET THAT IS CONSIDERED BRAIN HEALTHY LIKE THE MIND DIET OR MEDITARRANEAN OR DASH DIET–SO CONSUME AWAY WITH A HEALTHY ATTITUDE THAT’S GOOD FOR THE BRAIN

Can you build a better brain with blueberries – or with fish, walnuts or kale?

The idea that certain super foods can keep us sharper as we age has huge appeal – especially as study after study suggests that brain power will not be found in a supplement pill. The latest, published in August in the medical journal JAMA, showed that older adults who took nutritional supplements, including omega-3 fatty acids (found in fatty fish and walnuts) and a combo of lutein and zeaxanthin (found in leafy greens), experienced just as much cognitive decline over a five-year period as those who took placebo pills……..

…………Here's what one potentially brain-healthy diet, the MIND diet, calls for:

• Leafy greens (such as spinach, romaine lettuce and kale) every day

• One additional serving of vegetables every day

• Whole grains three times a day

• Nuts on most days

• Beans about three times a week

• Poultry at least twice a week

• Fish at least once a week.

• Berries at least twice a week

• Wine – but no more than one glass a day

• Olive oil as your primary cooking oil

• Limited amounts of red meat, cheese, butter, sweets and fried foods
