Top 10 Foods to Increase Your Memory

Top 10 Foods to Increase Your Memory

The old maxim "You are what you eat," turns out to be true. New research on so-called "brain foods" shows that some chemicals in the foods we eat go right to our brain cells.

But can food really make us more intelligent, give us smarter kids, improve memory, help us think more clearly, and maybe even forestall those so-called "senior moments," or worse, dementia?

The answer is a qualified "yes." Although no one "miracle" food is going to boost your brain power instantly, make your kid a genius, or cure Alzheimer's, regularly adding certain foods to your diet will help you function at your personal best, both physically and mentally, throughout your lifetime.

From berries to walnuts, these 10 brain foods are proven to boost memory, help us think clearly, and contribute to overall good health.

And these cells could burn out if there is lack of Vitamin C. So, oranges are one the best Fuels for the Brain.
