How Diet Affects the Brain
What we eat plays a crucial role in maintaining brain function and preventing neurological diseases. Diets rich in saturated fats, processed foods, and sugars have been linked to cognitive decline, migraines, and worsened symptoms of neurological disorders. In contrast, brain-healthy diets can improve mood, memory, and overall neurological function.
Foods to Boost Neurological Health
Incorporate these brain-boosting foods into your diet:
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in fish like salmon, walnuts, and flaxseeds, omega-3s are essential for brain cell repair.
- Leafy Greens: Rich in antioxidants, greens like spinach and kale combat oxidative stress in the brain.
- Berries: Blueberries, in particular, enhance memory and delay brain aging.
- Whole Grains: A steady source of energy for the brain, whole grains improve concentration and focus.
