This study found that higher levels of Omega-3 fatty acids in the blood, predicted reduced deterioration for its test subjects (<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/22855869\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Samieri et al 642<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>In another very large study of over 1,200 people, Omega-3 fatty acid, along with various other micronutrient levels, were analyzed. The results were compared to the prevalence of an important biomarker for dementia, a compound in the blood that predicts Alzheimer&#8217;s. Sure enough, those with high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids had a lower amount of the threatening biomarker (Gu et al 1832).<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s really interesting is that these results were <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>not<\/em><\/span> replicated through supplementation.<\/p>\n<p>In a huge study, supplementation Omega-3 fatty acids were given to 4,203 subjects to determine whether memory function improved. The study followed subjects for five years, during which they tested various cognitive functions, including memory. The results showed that supplementation did not have a significant effect on cognitive function (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5369607\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chew et al 791<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Moral of the story? There seems to be real memory benefits and protective effects to eating foods high in Omega-3 acids, such as in fish. Moreover, supplements have not proven effective. You\u2019re much better off saving your money for a nice salmon filet once a week.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5019 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Optimized-Dollarphotoclub_79730894.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&quality=60&ssl=1\" alt=\"Image of a woman choosing between junk food and a memory boosting diet\" width=\"1130\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Optimized-Dollarphotoclub_79730894.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;ssl=1 1130w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Optimized-Dollarphotoclub_79730894-300x239.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Optimized-Dollarphotoclub_79730894-768x612.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Optimized-Dollarphotoclub_79730894-1024x816.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Optimized-Dollarphotoclub_79730894.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;w=226&amp;ssl=1 226w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Optimized-Dollarphotoclub_79730894.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;w=452&amp;ssl=1 452w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Optimized-Dollarphotoclub_79730894.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;w=678&amp;ssl=1 678w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Optimized-Dollarphotoclub_79730894.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;w=904&amp;ssl=1 904w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The Simple Diet That Brings It All Together<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It might get tiring eating walnuts, berries, green tea, and fish all the time. But you\u2019re in luck! As it turns out, there is an entire diet which has been shown to be protective against memory degeneration. The diet, called the MIND diet, reduces the risk of cognitive decline and memory by 35%. And that\u2019s just for people who followed the diet moderately well (<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/26086182\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Morris et al 1022<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>For those who stuck to the diet closely, the study measured an impressive reduction of 53%.<\/p>\n<p>This diet has not, as of yet, been shown to enhance memory for healthy adults. There are no super-memory foods in the MIND diet.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the MIND diet and study has shown impressive results in its potential to protect you from memory deterioration.<\/p>\n<p>The MIND diet is a combination of two very well-studied diets: Mediterranean and DASH. Unlike these two diet, it places a special emphasis on the consumption of berries, strawberries, and blueberries in particular (remember them?).<\/p>\n<p>The diet involves the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At least three servings of whole grains a day<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A salad and one other vegetable a day<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A glass of wine a day<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A serving of nuts a day<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beans every other day<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Poultry and berries at least twice a week<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fish at least once a week<\/li>\n<li>Fermented foods like the ones <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5216880\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this study<\/a> shows improve memory and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/mental-clarity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mental clarity<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to choose whole grains for better cognition and foods like leafy greens for brainpower, the MIND diet also calls for limiting or eliminating unhealthy foods, especially butter, cheese, and fast or fried food.<\/p>\n<p>In a time when many countries are facing ageing populations and increasing rates of Alzheimer\u2019s, the MIND diet offers hope. As of yet, there is no effective cure for Alzheimer&#8217;s. Every step to a more definitive prevention of Alzheimer&#8217;s is a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you can&#8217;t rely on the MIND diet on its own.

In fact, they are known to be the oldest tree species in the world, remaining unchanged for over <a href=\"https:\/\/e360.yale.edu\/features\/peter_crane_history_of_ginkgo_earths_oldest_tree\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">200 million years<\/a>. That\u2019s right, this tree has been around since the dinosaurs. Unlike the dinosaurs, they did not go extinct.<\/p>\n<p>Not just a pretty tree, Ginkgo Biloba has also been used in east asian culinary. For example, Ginkgo seeds are added to a traditional vegetarian dish called \u201cBuddha\u2019s Delight\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, Ginkgo Biloba has earned a shining memory-boosting reputation in both alternative medicine circles and the mainstream population. According to the New York Times, it is widely <a href=\"https:\/\/well.blogs.nytimes.com\/2012\/09\/10\/doubts-on-ginkgo-biloba-as-a-memory-aid\/\">marketed<\/a> as a preventative treatment to Alzheimer\u2019s disease. What\u2019s more, it is <a href=\"https:\/\/slate.com\/human-interest\/2007\/04\/how-did-ginkgo-biloba-become-the-top-selling-brain-enhancer.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">America\u2019s<\/a> best-selling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/herbs-for-memory-and-focus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">herbal cognitive enhancement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But is there substance behind these claims?<\/p>\n<p>Unlike many food claims, definitive answers are possible because Ginkgo is one of the most commonly studied herbs in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Ginkgo has not shown evidence for preventing memory-loss diseases in later life, including dementia. In 2015, a study reviewing many previous studies available on Ginkgo showed no effect on memory loss prevention (<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/26058281\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Charemboon and Jaisin 508<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>But can it help enhance memory for healthy adults?<\/p>\n<p>Again, the evidence is lacking. A similarly large review conducted in 2012 found nothing to prove that Ginkgo Biloba enhances memory, despite the marketing (Laws et al.).<\/p>\n<p>All that glitters is not gold, especially when it comes to claims made by herbal supplement manufacturers. Save your money on Ginkgo supplements and move on to other, better evidenced memory-supporting foods.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Antioxidants And Cognitive Function<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s difficult to isolate specific components in foods that make them effective. It\u2019s been found that blueberries, walnuts, and green tea have amongst the highest levels of antioxidants among their respective food groups.<\/p>\n<p>Antioxidants are thought to protect against cell damage from free radicals, which occur naturally in the body due to normal metabolism.<\/p>\n<p>However, many studies analyzing the effects of antioxidant supplements have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hsph.harvard.edu\/nutritionsource\/antioxidants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">failed<\/a> to show significant effects. It seems that you must take the food with the antioxidant, possibly with other vitamins too.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Start On Your Memory-Boosting Journey<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>(Without Supplements)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Although there may be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/vitamins-for-memory-improvement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a time and place for supplementation<\/a>, uprooting memory supporting foods you can tolerate from their place in your diet is a poor strategy.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, the variety and availability of these delicious foods leaves no reason not to incorporate them into your diet. Memory-boosting foods and diets are surprisingly commonplace.<\/p>\n<p>Above and beyond improving memory, eating a healthy diet will leave you feeling energetic and, most importantly, disease-free. It\u2019s a fair statement to say that living a long and healthy life is a prerequisite to excellent memory.
