1) GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES​

Leafy greens such as kale, spinach, broccoli are rich in brain-health nutrients like vitamin K, lutein and folate. These plants may help slow cognitive decline

3) Berries

Flavonoids are the natural plant pigments that give berries their bright colours. These plant compounds have been linked to helping improve memory. They also contain fibre, which feeds good bacteria, potentially contributing to better memory, focus, cognition and mood.

2) FATTY FISH

Oily fish contains protein and is also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which support optimal brain signalling, reduce inflammation and may help fight depression. Protein supports neural communication and overall brain function.

5) TEA and COFFEE

Coffee and tea might offer more than just a short-term boost. In a recent study, participants with higher caffeine consumption scored better on tests of mental function.
