BRAIN HEALTH

Looking after our brain as we age is as important as keeping our bones and heart healthy. Some foods can negatively affect brain cells while others can positively boost your grey matter. High consumption of added sugar, alcohol and processed foods can all have a negative impact on our brain health. There is a growing understanding of the link between diet and brain health.

Some foods which can have a positive effect on our brain health include:

AVOCADO, EGGS, BEETROOT, DARK CHOCOLATE, COCONUT, VITAMIN C, TURMERIC AND GREEN TEA.
There are some excellent supplements available instore to help support your brain function, these include:

OMEGA 3S…..fat is very important for proper brain function, but it needs to be the right fat! Omega 3 fatty acids are the essential building blocks of our brain and are important for learning, memory and focus.
VITAMIN K..vital for cognitive function and brain power
ZINC…for enhancing memory and thinking ability.
VITAMIN D..for anyone whose mood is affected by lack of sunlight.
MAGNESIUM ..involved in healthy brain development, memory and learning.
PROBIOTICS…help with gut health which has a huge impact on our brain health.
B-COMPLEX…vitamin B6, B9 and B12 are often linked to brain health.
