Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Boost your brain health with these four foods
Caption: Boost your brain health with these four foods. ”Certain foods can affect the brain both positively and negatively," says Emma Thornton, a qualified nutritionist at avogel.co.uk. "There are a number of ingredients that are thought to help improve mood, concentration and even memory, for example, such as cranberries, salmon, spinach, eggs.” Cranberries These little red berries are rich in antioxidants which may help to protect the brain from damage caused by free radicals. ”Exposure to free radicals has, for example, been linked to memory loss and Alzheimer's disease.” Salmon Oily fish including salmon, mackerel and sardines contain plenty of omega-3, a polyunsaturated fat. ”Omega-3 is known as a building block of the brain because it is crucial for brain development in youngsters. In addition, there's evidence to suggest that getting enough omega-3 could slow cognitive decline as we get older.” Spinach Spinach, like many other green vegetables, is rich in magnesium and can help improve your mood, quality of sleep and more. ”Research has also indicated a link between the consumption of green vegetables and a reduced risk of cognitive decline and memory loss.” Eggs Eggs contain B vitamins and folic acid which may help to reduce homocysteine levels in the blood. ”Homocysteine is a type of amino acid, and too much of it could be associated with cognitive impairment.” Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
