Whether you want to improve your memory during exam season or simple stay sharp in your next work meeting, knowing the best brain food to add to your diet can really pay off.
Or maybe you are worried about age-related problems like dementia.
Although dementia is not a specific disease, it is a general term for a decline in mental ability. Mental decline comes in lots of varieties and Alzheimer's is the most common and the most terrifying especially for older adults.
So, no matter who you are or what you do, consuming the best brain food is crucial to a sharp memory.
The good news is that new groundbreaking studies are offering compelling evidence that memory can be improved by eating the right foods.
Today's podcast is devoted to those studies and the best brain food you can consume.
