Almonds are full of healthy fats, antioxidants, and vitamin E. Vitamin E protects cells against free-radical damage to help slow mental decline.
There are even some studies that prove Vitamin E could contribute to improved cognition and reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease!
🍴I'll happily eat these raw, toasted, sweet (candied), savory (tossed in some W sauce & toasted, or chopped up and on top dessert or salad!
🥑 Avocado is a healthy fat that is rich in folate and vitamin K. Vitamin K improves certain brain functions such as concentration and memory. Eating this healthy fat can also help reduce blood pressure, which in turn reduces cognitive decline.
🍴Spread it on toast, throw it in a smoothie, or have it at breakfast with a generous squeeze of lemon and a side of eggs 😋
🥥 Coconut oil improves memory by providing energy to neurons so they can function optimally. It also helps protect neurons by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress (OS is an imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants in the body; it can damage cells, proteins, and DNA, which contributes to aging).
🍴You can replace fats in baking/cooking recipes (I love it in brownies!). It's also DELICIOUS in coffee!
✨BONUS: topically, it's good for dry skin, stretch marks, and eczema!
🍃 Spinach is rich in vitamin K and folate. Folate is crucial for proper brain function and healthy pregnancies. A body lacking in folate can contribute to anxiety, confusion, depression, fatigue, and forgetfulness. Spinach is potent with folate, as 1 cup provides 65% of the daily recommended amount!
🍴I love to sauté spinach with a little butter, or cook them down and add a few wedges of laughing cow cheese! It's also delicious mixed in with eggs or a salad mix!
