10 Natural Foods that Support Brain Regeneration – Dr. Jason Jones Elizabeth City NC, Chiropractor

Due to the nature of our industrial fast-paced society everyone stands at the risk of experiencing brain degeneration as we grow old. But luckily, there are lots of natural foods that support brain health and help to strengthen brainpower.

You should be excited about this because the food choices you make are one variable you can easily control. You can support your brain regeneration and functionality by eating a brain-boosting diet.

Here are a few natural foods that support brain regeneration boost memory powers:

Nuts

Nuts like almonds and walnuts are rich omega-3 fatty acids, and protein, which helps the brain build new neurons and support memory building capacity.

More so, nuts contain vitamin E- an antioxidant that helps protect brain cells from oxidative stress resulting from the actions of free radicals.

A 2014 study shows that a high intake of nuts was linked to better brain function among elderly people. This food has also been linked to a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

Oily fish

Fish like salmon, mackerel, herring, tuna, and sardines are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, and this helps to build membranes around the brain cells. They, therefore, help to improve the structure of neurons thereby boosting brain regeneration.

Studies have shown that people that consume high levels of omega-3s have a higher flow of blood in their brains. Besides, there are many links between omega-3 levels and improved cognition, or better-thinking abilities.

Berries

Berries are high in flavonoid antioxidants, including anthocyanin, catechin which makes them contribute many positive effects on the brain, including:

  • Increasing neuroplasticity, which helps the neurons form new connections in the brain, thereby boosting learning and memory
  • Delaying age-related neurodegenerative diseases
  • Reducing inflammation

Some good berries that contain a high amount of antioxidant that helps brain health include strawberries, blueberries, blackcurrants, blackberries, and mulberries.

Dark chocolate

You can also support brain regeneration by eating dark chocolates as they contain cocoa, which is rich in flavonoids. These antioxidants help to clear oxidative stress which is linked to brain diseases and age-related cognitive decline.

Studies show that the flavonoids in cocoa encourage the growth of neurons and blood vessels in the part of the brain involved in learning and memory. They also stimulate more blood flow in the brain.

Other nutrient-rich foods that boost brain power and support brain regeneration include:

  • Olive oil
  • Coconut oil
  • Eggs
  • Avocadoes
  • Broccoli
  • Kimchi

These foods above can help boost your memory and concentration, as well as reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.
