Boost Memory With Your Plate

I've been meaning to write this article for a month, but I kept forgetting.  Hmmmm.

These additions to your daily diet help protect DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid that is the primary structural component of your brain:

1.) Eat lots of fruits and vegetables; they are vital brain food.  And seriously, when is eating fruits and vegetables NOT a good idea?

2.) Use turmeric as a seasoning.  Found in yellow mustards and in powder form, it helps clear cellular waste from your brain. 

3.)  Eat foods rich in omega-3's, including canned salmon, tuna, and sardines, as well as walnuts, avocados, canola oil, and flaxseeds. 

4.) Take 900 mg. of DHA omega-3's daily to help your brain cells maintain their fluidity, flexibility, and composition. 

5.)  Take 1000 IU's of Vitamin D3 daily to keep blood flowing smoothly to your brain.
