Best Fuel For The Brain

Foods aren't just fuel for you. True, they provide the energy you'll need, yet some have benefits which go well beyond simple nourishment.

Explore the recesses of the refrigerator and you may find foods that science is, increasingly, crediting with being especially supportive for brain health. These edibles may improve memory, clarify thinking, delay cognitive decline, and maybe even ward off Alzheimer's disease.

Healthy Foods:

Eggs
Don’t your investment eggs. They have memory-boosting choline, protein for the muscles, and lutein for your eyesight - important should you spend time in front of a computer screen. Alter your lunchtime routine using these Not-So-Devilish Eggs.

Salmon
The omega fats present in salmon have been shown to boost brain development, improve function and reduce inflammation. Salmon Kebobs are a light weeknight meal which will please the brains and also the bellies around your table.

Berries
Skip the chips and grab some berries during exam time. The antioxidants present in raspberries, blueberries, strawberries and cherries are associated with improved short-term memory. Try Giada's Raspberry-Vanilla Smoothie rather than your usual midnight snack.

Oatmeal
Don’t like regular oatmeal? Awaken your brain with Ingrid Hoffman’s Oatmeal Breakfast Smoothie. Combine a batch before you go to bed for any quick breakfast on your way out of the door. It really is the most important meal during the day.

Broccoli
Broccoli is full of fiber and immunity-boosting vitamins C and E. Individuals who eat more cruciferous vegetables show slower mental decline. Raw broccoli is excellent, but we love the nutty taste of roasted broccoli.
