The brain is like any other part of your body; you have to use it regularly, to strengthen it. It is like a muscle that would atrophy and lose its function altogether, if not constantly “exercised.” It also needs nutrients to be able to perform its assigned tasks efficiently. A number of people use brain supplements and are not aware that there are amazingly simple foods that improve memory. Here are just some of the foods that research suggests could help enhance your memory. Omega-3 Fatty Acid Rich Foods Unsaturated fats, which are Omega-3 fatty acid rich foods, are excellent foods that improve memory. The brain needs fatty acids to serve as protection and as part of the brain’s bio-membrane. The cerebrosides are a type of fats called glycospingolipids. They are important components of nerve cells, which are vital parts of the nervous system including the brain. When the nerve cells /neurons are functionally well, this would definitely improve your memory.- These foods come from oily fish, such as mackerel, black cod, herring, salmon, and sardines.
- Spinach and broccoli prevent memory loss and are believed to delay or prevent the onset of Alzheimer’s disease, because of their quercetin content.
- Turmeric is believed to have properties that prevent memory loss, as well.
- Blueberries – These are documented to be rich in phytochemicals like anthocyanin, which is a memory enhancer.
- Grapes – These contain also anthocyanin and quercetin, like blueberries. These act as a phytochemical to boost your memory.
- These can come from yogurt, peanuts, oat bran, beans, cereals and whole bread.
