All of us hear about “superfoods” and amazing vitamins and minerals that will fix everything from poor memory to our mood. But what does the science say about the traits of the top foods for brain health? Here are some top takeaways:
• Food turns into the building blocks for our brains, so eating more high-quality foods may be a good recipe for a higher-quality brain
• Foods that are rich in polyphenols and antioxidants may be especially excellent for brain wellness (these are found in higher levels in herbs and spices!)
• Certain fats (omega-3s in particular) seem to be key to brain health
• Vitamins and minerals like zinc, magnesium and selenium are found in higher levels in nuts, seeds and leafy greens and are linked to better brain health, but by and large, eating a diversity of high-quality sources of especially plant and animal foods rich in vitamins and minerals seems key
