that eating same food helps their brain to grow and make it
more healthy. According to studies, right diet can help prevent
memory loss. Studies say right amount of diet is far more
affective in memory-enhancement rather than all those expensive
supplements.
Here is how it works!
As the brain ages, it gets more prone to inflammation and
oxidation which allows damaging free radicals to attach themselves
to cells. As a result, it kills brain cells which in turn
is responsible for memory loss.
Scientists have proven the fact that right diet increase the
immunity of the brain towards inflammation and oxidation.
Also it helps brain cells to communicate between them easily.
One important area of research in this subject is the role
of antioxidants, potent chemicals in plant that protect against
free radicals which are responsible for damaging brain cells.
Food with high value powerful antioxidants are just the right
diet for your brain. Many fruits and vegetables occupy their
respective space in this prime list. Antioxidants, not only
slow oxidation but also act as anti-inflammatory agents, serve
dual purpose. Hence they make brain less vulnerable to amyloid
plaque. Also they improve communication between neurons and
allow the brain to regenerate.
