Your Brain is What is You Eat!


What You Eat Can Help Keep Your Brain "On-Point"!

Researchers from the Alzheimer's Research Trust have found that there is a link between diet and reducing the risks of developing Alzheimer's and dementia.

A study in the Archives of Internal Medicine says carrots can help keep you mentally sharp well into your senior years. Scientist believe this is because carrots are rich in beta-carotene, an antioxidant that is helpful, long term, but not short-term, for increasing cognition and memory.

Previous studies have also shown that red wine and a diet rich in walnuts, flaxseed and fish oils can also cut the risk of brain degeneration by as much as 60%.

To save your grey matter, serve up a plate of salmon, carrots, drizzled with walnuts and flaxseed oil with a glass of red wine.
