3.Water
As you go up in years, not only does your body lose water, but your sense of thirst starts to fade. That means it will take you longer to know when you’re low on fluids. Water is food for your health in lots of ways. It cushions your joints, helps control your body temperature, and affects your mood and how well you focus. Make eight glasses of water each day your goal.
4.Fish
Fatty fish like salmon, albacore tuna, herring, and farmed trout should be on your menu twice a week. The reason? They’re high in DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid that’s good for your brain. Low levels of DHA have been linked to Alzheimer’s disease, but get enough of it, and you may improve your memory and ability to learn new things. If you don’t eat or like fish, algae, walnuts, flaxseed, and chia seeds are also good sources of DHA.
