3. Eat whole foods, Mediterranean style.
A brain-healthy Mediterranean-style diet includes fruits and vegetables, lean protein (fish, chicken, and turkey); low-fat yogurt and cheeses; and grains, nuts, and seeds. Stay away from red meat and processed foods. Get in the habit of eating whole foods. What are whole foods? They’re foods that have only one ingredient–for example, strawberries, broccoli, or barley. If you must have a convenience (manufactured) food on occasion, find those packaged, canned, and frozen items with the fewest ingredients–especially ingredients that you readily recognize and understand.

+ add your ownFood nutrition is a key element in maintaining our overall physical well being. We must always pay attention to the foods that we eat because they will eventually impact our health, for better or for worst. We have more information available about the benefits of every particular food group than we’ve ever had before, which is why we also have a bigger responsibility than ever before to make assertive and responsible food choices.

How interesting - I especially love the dark cocoa powder one ;D
I am glad to see the recommendation for DHA at 1000-1500 mg. instead of the mere 240 mg. as needed to sustain minimum brain function.
I have read(entirely)research papers regarding the function o f DHA and DPA in the body.
There is a very positive, tested multiple times, correlation between brain(and heart)health with an intake of 950mg. of DHA daily.
If you take fish oil, pay no attention to the EPA numbers. It's only value is its ability to convert to DHA in the body. Of its self, it does absolutely nothing in the body.
DHA is the major player for optimal health, hands down. The good newsm, is if you can't afford supplemetation with a Norwegian DHA supplement, eating any kind of cold water fish twice a week will give you very good, study proven, similar benefits.
This includes that can of sardines sitting in your cupboard.
