DASH diet; balanced nutrition

Fifteen percent of what we eat feeds our brain. Don’t feed your brain junk! Your diet should be well balanced. Include fish, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds and legumes. These are good sources of the B vitamins, folate, vitamin C, vitamin E and omega-3 acids.

Salmon steaks -- good brain food

Particularly good foods for your brain are salmon, spinach, broccoli, red peppers, turkey, blueberries, avocado, walnuts and green tea. If necessary, supplement your diet with a daily multivitamin.
