Brain Foods-- Foods to keep your memory intact:
Blueberries,
Strawberries and Spinach act as brainboosters
What makes these foods
so potent?
- The above have been
shown to protect brain cells from the onslaughts of ageing
- Blueberries (Jamun as
commonly known in India) and strawberries are rich in anthocyanins,
formidable antioxidants in deep red and purple pigments.
- Studies suggest
anthocyanins may protect the neurons ability to respond to chemical
messengers; they also seem to discourage blood clots from forming.
- Spinach is a antioxidant
powerhouse, bursting with betacarotene, vitamin C and folic acid. All
three foods contain other compounds that keep blood vessels supple and
help transport nerve impulses more efficiently.
- These substances almost
certainly get their oomps from teamwork, which is why researchers
advise eating the foods rather than popping a supplement made from
them
