Who the best Ingredients to eat
1. Fatty Fish (DHA / EPA)
Examples: Salmon, sardines, mackerel, anchovies
Why it matters:
DHA is a structural fat of brain cell membranes
Improves synaptic signaling and neuroplasticity
Strongly associated with slower cognitive decline and better memory retention
Dose logic: 2–3 servings/week or DHA-rich sources
2. Blueberries & Dark Berries (Flavonoids)
Examples: Blueberries, blackberries, strawberries
Why it matters:
Anthocyanins cross the blood-brain barrier
Reduce neuroinflammation and oxidative stress
Improve hippocampal memory function
Clinical relevance: Consistently linked to delayed brain aging
3. Eggs (Choline)
Why it matters:
Choline is a precursor to acetylcholine (core memory neurotransmitter)
Deficiency correlates with poor recall and attention
Best part: The yolk
Target: 1–2 eggs/day (unless contraindicated)
4. Leafy Greens (Vitamin K, Folate, Lutein)
Examples: Spinach, kale, broccoli
Why it matters:
Support neural repair and myelin integrity
Associated with slower cognitive aging
Key insight: One daily serving correlates with “younger” brain function in studies
5. Nuts & Seeds (Vitamin E + Healthy Fats)
Examples:
Walnuts (structurally similar to the brain)
Almonds
Flaxseed, chia seeds
Why it matters:
Vitamin E protects neurons from oxidative damage
Omega-3 precursors support synaptic health
6. Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Polyphenols)
Why it matters:
Reduces beta-amyloid plaque accumulation
Enhances autophagy in brain cells
Use case: Daily fat replacement (Mediterranean pattern)
7. Turmeric (Curcumin)
Why it matters:
Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant
May reduce amyloid aggregation
Supports mood + memory together
Absorption tip: Combine with black pepper (piperine)
8. Dark Chocolate (Cocoa Flavanols)
Requirements:
≥70% cocoa
Low sugar
Why it matters:
Improves cerebral blood flow
Enhances short-term memory and focus
9. Coffee & Green Tea (Caffeine + Polyphenols)
Why it matters:
Improves alertness, attention, reaction time
Long-term association with reduced neurodegenerative risk
Key note: Moderate intake only
10. Fermented Foods (Gut–Brain Axis)
Examples: Yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi
Why it matters:
Gut microbiome directly affects cognition and mood
Reduces systemic inflammation that damages neurons
What to Avoid (Equally Important)
Ultra-processed foods
Excess refined sugar
Trans fats
Chronic alcohol intake
These accelerate neuroinflammation and memory decline.
