You show your brain love all the time-moving your body and getting good-quality zzz's are two of the biggest ways, and challenging it to keep it agile is another. What you eat is also super important. "Studies emphasize how nutrition profoundly impacts cognitive function. Food can support or hinder our ability to think, focus, remember, and make decisions," says Laura lu, R.D., a certified intuitive-eating counselor in New York City.
Nutrients that play key roles in supporting the function of your topmost organ include omega-3's; antioxidants; vitamins B and E; and iron, zinc, and magnesium, whereas too much sugar, alcohol, sodium, or processed food may mess with brainpower now and down the line. Try these bites to support brain health.
