OILY/FATTY FISH

Oily fish like salmon, tuna, mackerel, and sardines are full of omega-3 fatty acids.

A 2017 study showed that people with more omega-3s in their blood had better brain bloodflow circulation.

There is a connection between omega-3 levels and better cognition, or thinking abilities.

AVOCADOS

Avocados are stuffed with monounsaturated fats, the "good" kind of fats, shown to lower rates of cognitive decline

They contain vitamin K and folate which stop clots in your brain (which can prevent strokes) and assist with memory and focus tasks.

Avocados are full of vitamin B and C, which you need to get daily since your body doesn't store them.

DARK CHOCOLATE

Dark chocolate are full of iron which is healthy for your neurons.

A 2019 survey of over 13,000 adults suggested a 70% lower risk of feeling depressed for dark chocolate lovers.

Dark chocolate is also a plentiful source of antioxidants.

NUTS

Nuts come packed with the kind of fats and oils our brains need alongside important vitamins and minerals, like selenium in Brazil nuts.

A study done in 2014 linked munching on more nuts to having a sharper brain later in life.

The omega-3 fatty acids are especially good at enhancing thinking and memory recall.
