Choosing Food For Brain Health

Fascinating information about foods for brain health. The way you eat can only affect the health of your brain.

So what is best for the brain? A new study shows that a diet that is regularly high in specific vitamins (B, C, D, E) as well as omega-3 fats, although low in trans fats, is better for the brain. Older subjects who ate this way had less brain shrinkage (related to Alzheimer's disease) and higher scores on tests of thinking ability than subjects on less nutritious diets.

Previous research has shown that a diet that is good for the heart is also good for the brain, but this latest study did things a little differently. They used blood samples (rather than dietary questionnaires) to determine the food consumed and the nutritional levels of the participants.

According to promind complex ingredients, the combination of B vitamins, vitamins C and E (both antioxidants), and vitamin D resulted in the best nutrients in the blood and healthy brain aging for the study population.
