Food for Thought

 

08 Nov 2021

Food choices affect our physical body, and nutrients greatly affect brain health as well. Children and young adults require nutrient-dense diets to support cognitive development. In adulthood, a nourished brain helps prevent cognitive decline later in life. Incorporate “brain foods” into your diet:

  1. Lean meat or meat alternatives: Protein, zinc and iron
  2. Seafood & fatty fish: Protein, zinc, iodine, vitamins D, B6, B12 and fatty acids
  3. Dark leafy vegetables: Iron, choline and folate
  4. Sweet potatoes: Vitamins A and B6
  5. Eggs: Protein, choline and B12
