- To maintain a healthy brain you need to

USE IT - research shows that memorising just one verse of poetry a day can help stop memory loss, and playing Scrabble™ or chess will keep the brain working

EAT LIVER (but not if you're pregnant -because Liver contains high levels of Vitamin A which can be damaging to the foetus) - it's rich in iron, which helps the brain function.
HAVE LOTS OF DARK GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLES - the Vitamin C which they contain helps absorb Iron from other foods.
EAT DRIED FRUITS - they also help Iron absorption.
TAKE EXTRA VITAMINS A (but not if you're pregnant), B AND E - essential for a healthy brain.
EAT MORE SHELLFISH - it's rich in Zinc, brilliant brain food.
GO FOR THE HERBS AND SPICES - basil, rosemary, ginger and liquorice all have essential oils which help the brain.



- DON'T EAT TOO MUCH REFINED CARBOHYDRATES - white flour, sugar-enhanced products and most processed foods - their nutritional value won't help you mentally or physically.
