Blueberries are the most important superfood for the brain

For overall health, brain nutrition is an important aspect that is often overlooked. The brain, which is the epicenter of our cognitive functions, emotions and vitality, requires special attention and care.
According to nutritionist Ekta Singhwal, maintaining optimal brain health involves incorporating a balanced and nutrient-rich diet, reports The Indian Express.
The expert recommends: include sources of omega-3 fatty acids (oily fish, flaxseed, chia seeds, walnuts), eat antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables (berries, dark green leafy vegetables, brightly colored vegetables), choose whole grain products (brown rice, quinoa, oats) and those containing lean proteins (poultry, eggs, tofu, legumes).
Nutritionists recommend the following 5 superfoods for improving brain health:
- blueberries (rich in antioxidants, support memory and cognitive functions, help reduce stress);
- fatty fish (supports the structure and functions of the brain, promotes cognitive well-being);
- broccoli (high in antioxidants and vitamin K, supporting healthy brain function);
- turmeric (has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and can cross the blood-brain barrier, potentially helping to prevent neurodegenerative diseases);
- nuts and seeds (support overall brain health and may help protect against age-related cognitive decline)./BGNES
