4 Eating Tips Your Brain Wants You to Remember


Sip cocoa
Flavanols, naturally occurring compounds in cocoa, may boost memory by stimulating blood flow in the brain.

Go fish
Omega-3 fatty acids—plentiful in fish like salmon and tuna—may protect your memory by keeping brain cell membranes pliable.

Eat your greens
Veggies like spinach and kale help protect the brain from disease.

Whip up an omelet
Eggs contain choline, which helps the body make the brain chemical acetylcholine; people short on acetylcholine seem to have trouble remembering.
