Healthy Brain Fitness Tip # 1

Eat Fruits and Vegetables

Believe it or not, your brain rusts as you get older. The end result is Alzheimer’s, or as one of our patient’s called it, “old timer’s disease”. But thankfully, nature has provided the perfect WD-40 lubricant.

It is the rainbow of colorful fruits and vegetables - the dark purples of blueberries, the deep reds of pomegranates, the rich green of kale and collards, the bright orange of sweet potatoes. All of these colorful foods provide powerful antioxidants that will give your brain lasting benefits.

That’s a good thing, because, as a recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found, people who ate more dietary antioxidants had 70% less Alzheimer’s and dementia. This is one powerful way to control one of the major causes of all disease - rusting or oxidative stress.

Eat 8 - 10 servings (1/2 cup = 1 serving) of these lifesaving colorful fruits and vegetables a day to help protect your brain.
