The foods that can improve brain function – BBC REEL

Memory is our ability to recall information from the recent or distant past, with three types of Memory: short-term, working Memory, and long-term.

What we eat can affect how well our Memory works.

Studies have shown that consuming Purple grape juice, Blueberries, green tea, and Dark chocolate can improve cognitive performance and Memory.

Polyphenols found in berries improve blood flow to the brain, providing more energy, nutrients, and oxygen.

A diet high in refined foods has a detrimental effect on learning and Memory, while a nutritious diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, and oily fish can improve Memory performance.

Making small changes to move towards a more nutritious diet can help improve Memory and protect it for the future.
