25 Superfoods to Boost Your Brain Health

What do I eat to perform mentally?
Love this question!
But we need ten pieces of content to say everything 🙂
So, let me tell you about 5 foods I eat regularly.

1.    “Fatty fish”
Fatty fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
Which means they’re great for our brain, right?

For example, we can eat:
→    Tuna
→    Salmon
→    Herring
→    Sardines
→    Mackerel
I personally eat salmon 2-3 times a week.
When?
At dinner — after my workout.

2.    “Nuts”

Here we can choose different types of nuts, like:
→    Walnuts
→    Cashews
→    Almonds
→    Pistachios
→   Brazil Nuts
The richest in omega-3 are walnuts.
That’s why a couple of years ago I switched from almonds to walnuts.
I personally eat a lot of walnuts.
About 180 grams a day — split into 6 micro meals.

3.    “Leafy greens”

Studies have shown that leafy greens are great for:
→    Our mood
→    Our memory
→    Our ability to make decisions
→    And our mental response time
For example, we can eat:
→    Kale
→    Arugula
→    Spinach
→ Swiss Chard
→    Collard Greens
I personally eat arugula every day after dinner.
How?
Just:
→    Arugula
→    Olive Oil (Italian oil, of course!!!)
→    A pinch of salt
→    A pinch of pepper
→    And turmeric (we’ll see it in a moment)

4.    “Berries”
Do you like berries?
They’re packed with flavonoids.
Oh, they’re just plants that may help lower the risk of cognitive decline.

We can go with:
→    Blueberries
→    Raspberries
→    Strawberries
→    Blackberries
→    Acai Berries
I personally love blueberries.

Maybe because they remind me of when I was a child.
In the summer, I used to pick them in the forests of the Dolomites.
So good!

Anyway, how do I eat them?
I just put them in my morning porridge — for breakfast.
Delicious!

5.    “Spices”
Tell me, how’s your relationship with spices?
Mine is… um… solid, I would say.
Especially with Mrs. Turmeric.
Even though it doesn’t come from Italy.
I think it comes from India.
By the way, I love India!


Now the question is:
→    Why is it good for our health?

Well, it contains:
→    Powerful anti-inflammatory
→    And antioxidant properties

And it supports our memory.

How do I eat it?

In two ways:
→    In the salad after dinner — like I said before
→    Sometimes, in my dinner (for example with basmati rice and chicken)
