Give it a couple more months and it'll turn into this:

There are many foods and herbs believed to improve brain health, but mostly with no solid evidence that they do what's claimed. No harm in trying though.
I'd like to point out the MIND diet, which supposedly supports brain function and prevents Alzheimer's.

In short, eat more of these:

  • Vegetables, green leafy vegetables in particular (spinach)
  • Berries, especially blueberries
  • Nuts (walnuts, almonds)
  • Beans
  • Wine (moderately)
  • Whole grains
  • Fish (tuna, sardines)
  • Poultry (chicken)
  • Olive oil

  • And less of these:

  • Fried or fast food
  • Red meats
  • Cheeses
  • Butter and stick margarine
  • Pastries and sweets

  • As for herbal remedies, the following are also worth considering:

  • Huperzia Serrata
  • Bacopa Monnieri
  • Mucuna Pruriens
  • Vinca Minor (Periwinkle)
  • Withania Somnifera (Ashwagandha)
  • Ginkgo Biloba
