Seafood

Eating more seafood could help with memory loss. In a 2016 study on ageing and dementia, the consumption of seafood in elderly participants was associated with a smaller decline in memory and other cognitive functions. This may be due to the presence of omega-3, which is essential for brain development. Another possible factor is an increased intake of zinc, which is found in seafood such as crab, mussels, oysters, fish and scallops. As we've seen already in the Beating the Blues chapter, zinc is something of a nutritional star. Try eating seafood for a couple of weeks. Then try a few simple memory tests.

Crab and other pink and orange seafood such as salmon and prawns contain astaxanthin, an antioxidant that appears to improve cognitive function when taken as a supplement, according to one small 2012 study. Try our Easy Crab and Artichoke Dip if you are cooking or eating crab for the first time. It's easy to make and subtle in flavour.
