In this article, I'll introduce you to 10 brain-healthy food

The brain is where our consciousness resides. There is nothing more painful to see yourself degenerate and "lose yourself". If you want to keep your brain healthy will into old age, then listen up.

In this article, I'll introduce you to 10 brain-healthy food. Consume more of them and you'll allow your brain to perform at its peak, no matter your age.

Blueberries, strawberries and raspberries. Not only do these berries contain high amount of anti-oxidants, they also contain chemicals naturally found in your brain. Anti-oxidants, of course, fight the process of oxidation, and oxidation kills cells - including brain cells. But perhaps the best of all berries are the Goji Berries. Being one of the most anti-oxidant rich food in the world, consuming a handful daily will greatly benefit your brain.

Green leafy vegetables are not only another great sources of anti-oxidants, they also contain numerous vitamins and minerals crucial for the brain.

Consume more oily fish. They contain crucial omega-3 healthy fats. These fats are not only crucial for your cholesterol, they are also abundantly found in your brain. Yet most of us don't consume sufficient omega-3 fats, opting instead for omega-6, commonly found in vegetable oil. Though there's obviously also a need for omega-6, striking a balance between the two is what matters.
B complex vitamins are particularly important for your brain because they provide energy to it. But note that vitamin B12 can be found in any plant source. So if you're a vegan, be careful to supplement your diet with it. If you're not a vegan, B12 can be abundantly found in eggs and beef. Another reason to hit that steak! But remember: I always recommend consuming only organic beef.
The last is not a food but a drink. Tea... or matcha green tea, to be specific, is a great drink for anyone who's looking to improve their brain function. It contains a large variety of anti-oxidants and chemicals that allows your focus and calm - probably why the Japanese Buddhist monk who originally drank it could meditate 12 hours straight!
So there, 5 food that improve your brain. Th
