Food for Thought

Eating well doesn’t just benefit your body, it also benefits your brain. So what exactly should you eat to improve your brain health? Foods high in omega-3 fats, vitamin B12, zinc, magnesium and iron, found in whole foods, legumes, lean red meat, fruits, veggies, olive oil and nuts, are all good for your microbiome and, consequently, your brain. While it is possible to have omega-3 fats, vitamin B12, zinc, magnesium and iron as supplements, it is much better to consume them in natural form. As food, they lower inflammation, leading to better gut health.

Oats, lentils, quinoa and beans have also been linked to brain health. All the complex carbohydrates stabilize blood sugar levels because of their fibre and phytonutrient content, which keeps the mood and energy stable in the short term and promotes healthy brain function in the long run. Not all carbs are bad. If you choose lentils, beans and whole grains over refined carbs such as maida and potatoes, your gut and brain both will be happier.
