This is the list of food head: Olive Oill Olive oil is a great source of monounsaturated fats, which have

been shown to ac tually slow brain aging. Walnutssss Walnuts are chock-full of heart-healthy and anti-inflammatory nutrients, and are the only good nut source of alpha linolenic acid (ALA), HuffPost Healthy Living earlier reported. That means they help promote blood flow, which in turn allows for efficient delivery of oxygen to the brain. Berries Animal studies have long indicated a link between berry consumption and brain he alth. But a recent study published in the Annals of Neurology found that a diet high in blueberries, strawberries and others were linked to a slower mental decl ine in areas like memory and focus in a large sample of middle-aged women, repor ted TIME's Alice Park. Blueberries Are Super Nutritious Research in animals shows that blueberries may help protect the brain from the d amage caused by free radicals and may reduce the effects of age-related conditio ns such as Alzheimer's disease or dementia. Studies also show that diets rich in blueberries significantly improved both the learning and muscle function of agi ng rats, making them mentally equivalent to much younger rats. Sardines Fatty fish like sardines (and salmon!) are a well-known brain booster, thanks to the omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, which have been linked to lower risk of d ementia, improved focus and memory. Coffee Caffeine, the mild stimulant found in coffee, improves mental acuity, though the drink's enthusiasts -- who guzzle 120,000 tons of the stuff each year -- likely already know that. Aside from caffeine's brain boosting effects, coffee's antioxidant richness help s maintain brain health. And some research suggests that drinking coffee can act ually stave off depression in women. Spinach Spinach is rich in the antioxidant lutein, which is thought to help protect agai nst cognitive decline, according to researchers from Tufts University. And a longitudinal study at Harvard Medical School found that women who reported eating then most leafy green and cruciferous vegetables had a markedly lower ra te of cognitive decline, compared to those who ate the least. Dark Chocolate Antioxidant-rich dark chocolate is healthy for your whole body, but its caffeine content is thought to play a role in maintaining mental acuity. What's more, chocolate is rich in flavonoids, a class of antioxidant that helps to improve blood flow (and thus brain health) by regulating cholesterol and lowe ring blood pressure. Avocados

Avocados are full of monounsaturated fats that improve vascular health and blood flow, making them another brain food. Water When a person becomes dehydrated, their brain tissue actually shrinks. And sever al studies have shown that dehydration can affect cognitive function.Dehydration can impair short-term memory, focus and decision making, according to Psycholog y Today.

Wheat Germ Wheat germ is a rich vegetarian source of choline -- a nutrient that is involved in the body's production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that boosts memor y, according to Shape. Eggs are another good choline source. Beets Beets are a good source of naturally-occurring nitrates, which help improve bloo d flow to the brain, according to Shape. Garlic Garlic may help stave off some forms of brain cancer, according to research publ ished in Cancer, the medical journal of the American Cancer Society. Investigato rs found that the organo-sulfur compounds in garlic actually worked to kill glio blastoma cells -- a type of malignant tumor cell. Eat more tomatoes There is good evidence to suggest that lycopene, a powerful an tioxidant found in tomatoes, could help protect against the kind of free radical damage to cells which occurs in the development of dementia, particularly Alzhe imer's. Bet on broccoli A great source of vitamin K, which is known to enhance cognitive function and improve brainpower . Pick up pumpkin seeds Just a handful of pumpkin seeds a day is all you need to get your recommended daily amount of zinc, vital for enhancing memory and think ing skills.
