Taking Care of Your Brain

We often talk about fitness for our body, but our brain is just as important to take care of. While it's shown that memory loss is a given with aging, we can do a lot to improve the brain's function. According to an article in Martha Stewart, Living magazine, diet plays a big part in brain health. Include berries, leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables in your diet. Omega-3 fatty acids help to fight inflammation which can also affect the brain - fish, nuts, olives, avocados.
Other suggestions are to get plenty of sleep (8 hours), limit screen time which makes concentrating difficult and exercise regularly.
