Simple diet changes improve your brain health. Studies have shown that change in diet improved brain health of individuals 50 years and older.

Here are some suggestions:

• Limit the intake of red meat to one serving per week
• Limit high fat dairy intake such as sour cream and buttermilk to once a week
• Avoid processed foods and pre-packaged meals
• Increase the intake of fruits and vegetables
• Berries help improve brain health
• Eating nuts is good for our body and brain, but make sure they are not high in salt content
• Beans and legumes are good for you
• Finally, fish and seafoods provide fatty acids that are very good for you

I hope this inspires you to make the transition to healthy eating. It can be difficult to get started, but it is extremely beneficial for you in the long run!
