Twenty Super Brain Foods

For most women the idea of losing memories is a justifiable fear. We all know what it feels like to forget names or misplace keys. It’s uncomfortable.

But fuzzy thinking, lack of focus and not remembering the odd name or appointment is not reason to believe Alzheimer’s is just around the corner.

Memory changes during midlife are a normal part of the aging process. Extraneous brain cells are being purged focusing more energy and resources on the billions of remaining neurons. In other words, our brain is being fine tuned, cleaned up and made more efficient. In fact, studies have shown that middle aged and older individuals may not think as quickly as young people but they do think better.

Of course, like any organ or system in the body, the brain needs the right resources to keep working in top form. Those resources come in the form of fuel, nutrients and oxygen and are delivered by the blood through a rich supply of arteries and blood vessels.
