How can diet strengthen your brain health?
No food is a magical elixir of brain health – but if it's good for your heart, it's also good for your brain.SCIENCE SAYS:
A well-rounded diet protects your whole body and reduces risk factors associated with cognitive decline. Whole foods rich in nutrients, omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants help strengthen blood vessels and functions throughout the body, including both your heart and your brain.WAYS TO BEGIN:
