1.Limit Red Meat Eating foods high in saturated fats, like red meat, butter and dairy products are associated with the development of degenerative diseases, including heart disease and Alzheimer’s disease.
2. Don’t Forget Fish, Fish is a great source of omega-3, the type of fatty acid your body can’t produce, and it’s good for your brain. At least twice a week, eat five ounces of omega-3-rich fish, such as salmon, cod, haddock, tuna or halibut.
3. Load Your Plate with Fruits and Vegetables Spinach, kale, broccoli and other leafy green vegetables are rich in many brain-loving nutrients. Blueberries, raspberries and blackberries are packed with antioxidants; they can potentially slow aging in the brain and elsewhere.
4. Dark Chocolate Dark chocolate contains flavonoids, which are strong antioxidants. They potentially improve blood flow to the brain and reduce inflammation. Unsweetened cocoa powder offers the greatest benefit, followed by dark chocolate with at least 72 percent cocoa solids.5. Spice Up Your Life Many herbs and spices – such as turmeric, cinnamon and ginger – are packed with antioxidants that may decrease harmful inflammation in the brain and elsewhere. The strong flavors and the bright, intense colors are clues to the benefit hiding inside your spice cabinet

8. Grab a Cup of Coffee or TeaCoffee, one of the world’s most popular beverages, has been shown to improve memory and potentially decrease your risk of dementia. Up to three cups of black coffee a day are recommended. Black and green teas contain brain-boosting antioxidants; give your tea plenty of time to steep before you drink to get the maximum benefit your brain deserves.
