I want my brain to stay sharp and full of wit. Who doesn’t want that as we get older. My mind is most important to me —I take different supplements for my brain - MemoMaster by Dr Gupta, Lion’s Mane by Host Defense and Acetyl L Carnitine from Pure Encapsulation. There are also foods that one could consume which are rich in anti oxidants.
All berries come to my mind when I think of anti-oxidants. You would think the purple berries as blueberries and mulberries. But let us not forget the Raspberries These berries are particularly high in flavonoids, compounds known for their potent antioxidant properties. Antioxidants play a critical role in neutralizing free radicals, protecting brain cells from oxidative stress, and potentially slowing down age-related cognitive decline. Additionally, raspberries contain a good amount of Vitamin C and fiber, both of which are beneficial for overall health, including the brain.
Studies have shown that these berries improve cognitive decline when consumed every7 day I cons78ume a different berry 3 days a week- I rotate raspberries, blueberries and mulberries.

Pomegranate is another fruit that stands out for its brain health benefits, primarily due to its high concentration of antioxidants. These antioxidants, including punicalagin and tannins, are highly effective in fighting oxidative stress, a key factor in the aging process of the brain.
Besides cognitive improvement with daily pomegranates Regular consumption of pomegranate or its juice has been associated with improved verbal and visual memory.
Lastly consuming avocados, nuts and seeds and omega 3 present in fish are essential.
