Scientists prove you CAN eat your way to a sharper mind
The link between diet and heart health is well known. Strictly Come Dancing judge Arlene Phillips believes in ‘eating sensibly and cutting out bread, pasta, crisps, cakes, sweets and biscuits’ She added: ‘I want an active brain, one that’s working as strongly as my heart.’ Of course, diet is not the only factor because genetics, exercise, stress and other lifestyle factors also play a part. Nutrition researcher Dr Emilio Ros of the Hospital Clinico in Barcelona says: ‘Consider making nuts part of a diet that limits saturated fats.’ Nuts have been shown to have beneficial effects on brain health as they can be rich in monounsaturated fats, omega-3 fats and Vitamin E 4. DAILY DOSE: ‘Eating at least one portion of fish a week can delay the onset of Alzheimer’s by ten years,’ claims Professor John Stein, adviser to the Institute for Food, Brain and Behaviour. THE PROOF: Chocolate can revive a failing brain, according to one recent study, which found that two cups of hot chocolate a day improved thinking skills in people with impaired blood flow by more than eight per cent.
