"Nutrition plays a significant and crucial role over the long run and the short run in brain health,"
"We can maintain a healthy and active mind well into our 80s and 90s by eating properly,"
Vitamin B
"B vitamins are involved in helping the formation of brain chemicals such as dopamine, epinephrine, and serotonin,"
"Vitamin B12 has a number of roles including helping in the formation of myelin,"
B12 is mainly found in meats (beef, pork, lamb, veal, fish, and poultry), and an as result, vegetarians may be deficient. This deficiency could lead to nerve damage, memory loss, low moods, and mental slowness.
Folic acid or folate is another important B vitamin for the brain,
"Magnesium is an important brain nutrient because it protects the brain from neurotoxins,"
"Vitamin C is an important antioxidant that can intercept free radicals before they affect the brain,"
Vitamin E
When you consume food rich in vitamin E, including almonds, green leafy vegetables, corn oil, sunflower oil, hazelnuts, and whole-grain flour, you get both alpha tocopherols and gamma tocopherols, she says. If you are choosing supplements, look for vitamin E with "mixed tocopherols" and take 400 IU a day, she says. Vitamin functions as an antioxidant and the brain is particularly susceptible to free radicals (damaging, unstable molecules). Some research indicates that vitamin E can delay progression of Alzheimer's disease and/or prevent it from occurring in the first place by reducing the free radicals damage!
