FOODS WHICH IMPROVE OUR MEMORY

With so much talk about how we can prevent diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, people are thinking of foods which help to improve our memory. The more we use our brain, remember, we help new cells to grow and don't think that as we grow old, we don't get new brain cells. Surely, when we use our brain to solve puzzles, study, do quiz, it helps new cells to grow. So, age shouldn't be an excuse not to study or solve puzzles, if one wants new brain cells to keep growing.

Some foods which boost our memory due to the vitamins and antioxidants they've. So, try to include at least one of them daily for better brain health.

1) Dark chocolate- this delicious treat increases memory power and even lowers cholesterol.
Dark chocolate contains anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties, which help increase proper blood flow.


2) Blueberries- boost many cognitive functions and contain high levels of flavonoids, which protect you from developing Parkinson's disease and dementia.


3) Walnuts- they're known to improve memory and thinking abilities. Walnuts contain high levels of Omega- 3 fatty acids, which provide nutrients and proper oxygen blood flow in the brain.


4) Wild salmon- it is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, essential vitamins and DHA ( docosahexaenoic acid),  which reduces the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.


5) Turmeric- this spice contains high levels of curcumin, which prevents Alzheimer's disease and other serious illnesses. It is commonly used for toothaches, stomach disorders and clogged arteries. It has antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties too.


6) Spinach-the leaf has high amounts of potassium, which helps promote the electrical conductivity going on in the brain. It is also a rich source of fibre and iron.


7) Tomatoes- they help to destroy free-radical damage to cells. They also have a high amount of the antioxidant, Lycopene, which protects you from memory loss.


8) Broccoli- It is a great source of Vitamin C. It contains the memory boosting compound, Choline. It also improves poor cholesterol levels, bone density and protects you from cancer.


9) Acorn squash- it provides a rich source of folic acid, which allows for quick transmission of  information through nerve cells. It also contains Vitamin B 12, which offers defense against nerve damage.


10) Green Tea- this invigorating brew contains plenty of immune-strengthening antioxidants, which help you concentrate better and stay healthy overall.
