Diet plays a key role in memory, focus, and cognitive health. Walnuts, nicknamed “Brain Nuts,” are rich in omega-3s, antioxidants, vitamin E, and minerals that support brain function.
Other brain-healthy foods include leafy greens like spinach and kale. These are linked to slower cognitive decline. Fatty fish rich in DHA and EPA support neural communication.
Lifestyle habits like sleep, stress management, and balanced routines also enhance cognitive health and protect against age-related decline.
