Following a brain healthy diet can help boost your memory and brain health. In this post, I will go over the different types of food that may help prevent memory loss and also help with other neurological conditions. The best foods for the brain also are good for the heart. MIND diet has been shown to improve mental function. This diet combines the Mediterranean diet and the DASH diet. Below are key components of the MIND diet.
- Whole grains (3 servings per day)
- Green leafy vegetables (6 servings per week)
- Berries (2 servings per week)
- Fish (1 serving per week

A healthy diet and lifestyle is the most important step you can take to keep your brain healthy. There is currently no cure for age-related dementia and Alzheimer's disease. There is some evidence that following this diet can help protect your brain.
