Key to a Healthy Noggin.
A memory center in the brain known as the hippocampus shrinks a little bit each year with age, but a year of moderate exercise (say like walking regularly at a brisk pace) has been shown to actually increase hippocampus volume.
In addition to regular exercise, certain power foods can thicken brain tissue as well. Strawberries and spinach prevent age-related brain disease, antioxidants like cranberries and blueberries increase memory and coordination, eggs and tuna prevent Alzheimer’s Disease, Omega 3 fatty acids like walnuts and olive oil improve brain activity, and sweet potatoes and carrots nourish the brain.
