Your brain is the most critical part of your body. When it’s tired, you’re tired—which is why you will want to supercharge your brain. Start with a nutritious diet, one that’s high in fiber and rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, the best source of antioxidants. Antioxidants from foods protect the brain from damage and inflammation that can lead to poor memory.
Make sure to get enough protein. Inadequate protein often leads to blood sugar problems, which are linked to memory and mood problems.
Make sure that your diet includes plenty of healthful omega-3 fatty acids from coldwater fish, such as salmon, sardines, trout. Walnuts, too. Studies show that omega-3 fatty acids help with depression, anxiety and memory and that people who have the highest levels of omega-3s have the lowest rates of Alzheimer’s disease.
Fruits are also brain protective, especially blueberries and pomegranates.
What foods cause brain problems? Too much simple sugar—white breads, desserts, sodas. They elevate your blood sugar—your body responds by elevating the hormone insulin and that creates inflammation in your body and your brain.
With some of my patients, I find that artificial sweeteners, preservatives and artificial coloring agents disrupt brain function. If you’re having problems with memory, please avoid them.
Supplements are very effective in helping people with memory. A key nutrient is magnesium. Magnesium is found in whole grains as well as green vegetables, but most people don’t get enough magnesium through diet.
