How to make your brain healthier today
Our brain is probably the most abused and poorly understood organ in the body. A 2013 study from New Zealand was hailed as a major step in brain nutrition as it found a clear correlation between DHA supplements and improved memory and reaction time in healthy adults. Two years later, a 2015 study in the journal Alzheimer’s & Dementia showed fish oils could even offset brain atrophy in healthy older adults. They are also rich in omega-3, which has anti-inflammatory properties to nourish our brains Walnuts: This nut is richer than most in DHA, a type of omega-3 fatty acid crucial for brain health Blueberries: These little blue fruits are known for their high content of antioxidants, which encourage blood flow and strengthen neuron connectivity in the brain 3) Take a supplement like gingko biloba The results of a new clinical trial published in the online journal Stroke & Vascular Neurology show the herb ginkgo biloba can be effective at boosting memory. Those given the high flavanol drink over three months showed a decline in memory loss something the researchers attribute to it increasing blood flow to a specific region of the brain concerned with memory.
