Brain Bulletin #8 - Twenty More Brain Foods
This headline recently in USA Today - "Alzheimer's Cases Expected to Rise At a More Rapid Rate!" Sixteen million Americans are expected to be hit with this brain disease by year 2050. The article goes on to say that this increase has the potential to collapse the health care system. Scary stuff. To quote a previous Brain Bulletin - "If you brain goes what's left?"
What is causing all this!? Neuroscientists seem to be looking very closely at the foods we eat. Here are 20 more foods that science says are extraordinarily good for your healthy brain. The ORAC (anti-oxidant capacity per 100 grams) is listed after each:
- cherries - 670
- kiwifruit - 602
- baked beans - 503
- pink grapefruit - 483
- kidney beans - 460
- onion - 449
- white grapes - 446
- corn - 402
- eggplant - 386
- cauliflower - 377
- frozen peas - 364
- potatoes - 313
- sweet potatoes - 313
- red cabbage - 298
- leaf lettuce - 262
- cantaloupe - 252
- banana - 221
- apple - 218
- tofu - 213
- carrots - 207
Remember, though, one single prune has an ORAC of 5770!!! See Brain Bulletin #2.
In the next Brain Bulletin I will tell you about an interesting bit of brain research that found that you can improve your memory by 25%! Instantly!!
Remember: "You are a genius",
