FOOD FOR
SNACKS PACKED WITH BRAIN-BOOSTING COMPOUNDS
There’s an endless list of factors that contribute to better functional health, but it all begins with what you eat. And when it comes to your brain, “You are what you eat” is doubly true. Here are three foods that can boost focus, memory, and general brain health while staving off degenerative decline. Broccoli, spinach, and other leafy greens The results of one 2017 study (and many others like it) indicate that regularly eating broccoli, spinach, and all those other green goodies that toddlers usually hate may slow the aging of the brain. This is likely due to them being chock-full of nutrients like vitamin K, folate, and lutein, compounds that promote brain health and aid us in shaking off brain fog.

antioxidants, vitamin C, vitamin K, and fiber. What’s more, their high gallic acid content enables them to reduce the production of stress hormones and lower blood pressure —both nasty contributors to a laundry list of brain problems. Salmon Salmon and other types of deep-water-dwelling swimmers are rich in those much-heralded omega-3 fatty acids, which naturally reduce inflammation and lower your risk for heart disease, many types of cancer, and a variety of other diseases. These acids are essential to keeping up regular brain function, and your body can’t make them itself, so do your best to get more of these scaly creatures in your diet, because nearly everyone in America is omega-3 deficient. Consider stocking up on an omega-3 supplement as well, though it’s always better to get nutrients directly from food if possible.
