5 food's for brain health




1 Oily fish 
such as salmon, mackerel, herrings and sardines are rich in a nutrient called Omega 3, which is essential for development and maintenance of brain tissue. Nutritionists recommend two portions of oily fish a week as part of a balanced diet. Tinned or fresh is equally acceptable and both have good nutritional value.

2 Blueberries

 High in antioxidants and a rich source of vitamin C, blueberries have been shown in many studies to guard against short term memory loss. Eating them can help aid Co-ordination and balance amongst other things.

3 Avocado

 Often avoided because it is felt they have a high fat & cholesterol content, avocados facilitate blood flow to the brain, which is essential for keeping the mind alert and focused to concentrate on the stresses of the day. They can also help to reduce overall blood pressure in the body.
4 Pumpkin Seeds 

Another rich source of Omega 3 oils and Zinc, they are perfect for any vegetarians out there who feel they might miss out because they can't eat oily fish. They help maintain the part of the brain that keeps sensory function intact.

5 Chocolates

 For most people this is probably the nicest of all brain foods, although it must be said, it is really only good-quality dark & milk chocolate with a high percentage of cocoa solids that counts! Eating a couple of small squares of premium dark chocolate every day will help provide lots of memory-improving anti-oxidants, whilst eating the same amount of milk chocolate will improve motor functions & reaction times.
