Boost your Brain Power with these 5 Foods!
It’s January, time to reset and try to commit to healthy habits. While we aren’t fans of fad diets or crazy workout routines, we believe you are what you eat, and eating healthy is a great way to boost your brainpower. We often help families that are impacted by neurological diseases, whether it be dementia or Parkinson’s Disease, we see how brain health imapcts families first hand. So we are happy to share 5 of our favorite brain-boosting foods that can help increase your cognitive performance:
- Salmon – Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which can help improve your focus and memory.
- Blueberries – Blueberries are rich in antioxidants, which can help protect your brain from oxidative stress.
- Avocados – Avocados are packed with healthy monounsaturated fats that are essential for optimal brain functioning.
- Nuts and Seeds – Nuts and seeds are a great source of healthy fats, fiber and protein, all of which can help boost your brainpower.
- Dark Chocolate – Dark chocolate contains flavonoids that may help improve cognitive performance and protect the brain from cognitive decline.
Our challenge to you is to try to incorporate 2 of these foods into your diet this week! Give it a try! The dark chocolate is especially easy to add!
Also, if you or a family member is dealing with neurological issues, we are happy to help. We can arm you with resources to keep your loved one safe at home or look at senior living community options to compare. You are not alone. Give us a call. 941-867-0809.
