Lettuce leaves, cabbage, spinach, kale, arugula, rocket, broccoli and more. All of these contain antioxidants, B vitamins and minerals – which can contribute to the prevention of heart disease, diabetes, certain types of cancer and can even contribute to memory, concentration and general brain health. A daily portion – 65 grams of green leafy vegetables such as spinach, cabbage, Swiss chard and watercress causes a slow cognitive decline, so studies done in the field have found. Another study found that those who ate more than two servings of vegetables per week experienced 40 percent less mental deterioration than those who ate less or none at all. Leafy greens had the greatest effect compared to the other vegetables. One of the explanations for this is the presence of vitamin E and other antioxidant components that prevent damage to cells in the body.
Cranberries and blueberries
A glass of cranberries a day will ensure better memory performance and an improved flow of essential nutrients to the brain, thanks to the large amount of antioxidants that protect the cells from oxidative damage from free radicals. Blueberries can also contribute to improving the normal functioning of the brain. Also, in addition to the known benefits of blueberries, the fruit probably also has a positive effect on the brain which can prevent memory loss and other changes that occur in the aging process
Add spices to food and drink
Winter is here and this is a great opportunity to add warming spices such as ginger, cinnamon, turmeric and more. Both for your drinks and food. These spices have anti-inflammatory properties and studies have shown that including them in the diet may lower the risk of neurodegenerative disorders. Turmeric has even been found to be a significant inhibitor in the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
