- Extra virgin olive oil has neuroprotective effects. It’s a highly potent antioxidant that has been shown to downregulate inflammatory cytokine activity in the brain.
- Avocados are packed full of B vitamins and vitamin E, and healthy fatty acids. Regular consumption is associated with better cognitive outcomes.
- Chia seeds have a high concentration of omega 3 fatty acids, which increase learning, memory, cognitive well-being, and blood flow in the brain.
- Blueberries, rich in antioxidants, can decrease the level of oxidative stress in certain brain regions.
- Walnuts are full of omega-3 fatty acids, polyphenols, and other nutrients that protect the brain from oxidative stress and inflammation. They help brain cell health and prevent cognitive decline.
