5.Green Smoothie
Just one serving of greens a day can help slow mental decline as you age, research finds. Spinach, kale, and collard greens are rich in brain-friendly nutrients like folate and lutein. But you don’t need to eat them in salad form, or even on a plate, to reap their benefits. Blend 2 ounces of greens with berries, a banana, and ice for a rich, nutritious treat that’s also loaded with vitamins A and C.
6.Turmeric Tea
This yellow spice is a main ingredient in curry, and it adds an earthy flavor to tea. Turmeric has been a part of Chinese and Indian medicine for centuries. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, turmeric is useful for skin, joint, and digestive issues. Researchers are now looking at its protective effects on the brain and whether it might improve memory and slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
