Eating a healthy diet that includes a lot of fruits, vegetables, legumes, and fish can help you keep your brain in tip-top shape. There are plenty of brain boosting foods but here are five that you might want to start including. 

First of all, oily fish. When people talk about brain foods this is often at the top of the list. This type of fish includes salmon, trout, tuna, herring, and sardines, all of which are rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s are a major building block of the brain, and they play a role in sharpening memory and improving mood, as well as protecting your brain against cognitive decline. 

What if you do not eat fish? What foods are good for memory? What’s an all round good food for the brain? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
