7 Best Foods To 'Grow New Brain Cells' And 'Preserve' Memory

Blueberries

Blueberries "provide anthocyanin," adds Dr. Shintani, which increases memory retention and enhances communication between brain cells. Their great antioxidant value helps lower inflammation and oxidative stress

Red grapes

Resveratrol abound in red grapes. Red grapes' strong antioxidant action helps lower inflammation and shield brain cells from oxidative damage, which is linked to cognitive loss.

Green tea

Catechins and polyphenols abound in green tea and help shield brain cells from oxidative stress and lower their risk of neurodegenerative illnesses.

Coffee

Thanks to its neuroprotective qualities, regular coffee drinking has been connected to a reduced risk of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. A great approach to help with long-term brain health, memory enhancement, and mental sharpening is to have coffee in moderation and free from extra sweets!

Turmeric

Particularly in people at risk for cognitive loss, the key chemical in turmeric, curcumin has been found to enhance memory.

Chia seeds

These three selections, according to Dr. Shintani, include omega 3 fats. Specifically chia seeds are high in ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid that lowers brain inflammation and improves cell communication, therefore enhancing focus and memory.

Dark chocolate

Flavonoids, especially epicatechin, which boost blood flow to the brain, help neurons grow, and sharpen memory and learning, abound in dark chocolate.
