3 brain boosting foods

The world of health information is funny.

Look up "brain boosting foods" in Google and
you'll come across hundreds of websites that talk
about every day foods like apples, kale, green tea, and
others that are supposed to be of benefit to the
health of your brain.

Funny thing is, most of these same foods are good
for preventing pretty much all disease.

That's why I continue to say…

How you heal anything is how you heal everything

Nonetheless, I want to give you a little more
insight into 3 brain-boosting foods that I think
are worth mentioning (and eating more often).

Brain Food #1 - Berries

By far, my run-away favourite brain-boosting food
is the good old BERRY.

Blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, goji
berries, etc…

If the name ends with berries you know they're
good for you brain (and overall health).

Special nutrients in blueberries increase the
production of brain cells in the hippocampus.
These nutrients may help reverse age-related
problems in the area of brain function.

Blueberries’ antioxidant power could reduce the
stress of oxidation in the brain—which makes them
strong allies in the fight against Alzheimer’s.

Studies done on rats have shown that blueberries
improve the learning and motor skills in aging
rats, making them mentally equivalent to much
younger rats. Blueberries contain a kind of
flavonoid called “anthocyanin.”

Anthocyanin is known to work in critical areas of
the brain. A 2005 study found that blueberries
could reverse age-related declines in neuronal
signal transduction as well as cognitive and
motor deficits.

Brain Food #2 - Cold water fatty fish

Hmmm… I wonder why?

Could it be the omega-3s they contain? Probably
but there's more to their power too.

One of the reasons fish oil plays such a big role
in brain health and in the health of other organs
like your heart is that many of the vitamins you
need require fat to break them down. Vitamins A,
E, D and K are all fat-soluble—so if you don’t
have healthy fat in your diet, very little
vitamin A, E, D or K can get absorbed into your
system!

The omega-3s, for which fatty fish (ie. salmon,
sardines, etc…) are so renowned for, are the TRUE
powerhouses. Omega-3s are the ultimate
anti-inflammatory substance, meaning they reduce
inflammation inside the body.

Since we now know that inflammation is a hallmark
feature of all disease, especially cognitive
decline, consuming omega-3s - be it
supplementally or through fish - is a must for a
strong and healthy brain.

Brain Food #3 - Apples

An apple a day could help keep Alzheimer’s away.
Well, that’s not exactly how the saying goes;
nonetheless there is some truth in it. A 2003
study in the journal Nutrition Reviews showed
that apples could have dementia-fighting
qualities. The study looked at fruits as a source
of vitamin C, a known factor in the reduction of
Alzheimer’s.

The researchers also noted that
these same fruits are a valuable source of
quercetin. Quercetin is a flavonoid, and
flavonoids are powerful antioxidants. Other
studies have linked the concentrated juice of
apples to a reduction in cell death and oxidative
damage in the brain.

But wait there's more…

Apples also contain a group of chemicals that
could protect the brain from neurodegenerative
diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Another 2003 study in the Journal of Agricultural
and Food Chemistry found that apple phenolics—the
kind of antioxidants found in fresh apples—could
protect nerve cells from damage.

They do this by preventing neurotoxicity caused
by oxidative stress.

Wow!

Talk about powerful stuff, right?

Let food be thy medicine.
