"… the brain is perhaps the pickiest and most demanding when it comes to the foods and nutrients that suit it best. Below are my recommendations for a Brain Healthy diet."
Salmon: Salmon is exploding with the omega-3 fats that make up the majority of the solid structure of the brain and play a fundamental role in learning and cognition. In the brain, omega-3 fats, specifically DHA, are both the structural and functional “lynchpins” for learning. Wild Alaskan Salmon is my preferred choice which can frequently be found fresh and is always available canned or frozen. My kids love frozen salmon burgers from Costco!
Nuts: Nuts score a perfect 10 when it comes to brain-boosting performance. They are rich in several nutrients that play a key role in healthy brain function, including essential amino acids, vitamin E, a full spectrum of minerals, and B vitamins.
