The #1 Best Food for Your Brain

8:00 Learn more about brain health!
Let’s talk about the #1 food for the brain.
It’s a misconception that the brain can't regenerate-certain parts of the brain can regrow.
The top foods to avoid to support a healthy brain are:
1. Omega-6 fatty acids (soy oil, corn oil, canola oil, and cottonseed oil)
2. Sugar
3. Refined carbs
The best food to support brain health is wild-caught salmon.
Wild-caught salmon can help enhance the brain in many ways, including supporting:
• Memory
• Focus
• Thinking
• Problem-solving
• Learning
It may also be beneficial for those with mood disorders or brain inflammation. Consuming more wild-caught salmon may even help reduce insulin resistance, which is at the core of many brain problems.
The brain is the fattiest organ in the body. Omega-3 fatty acids are the healthy fats your brain needs. They’re the building blocks of your brain. Wild-caught salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
Wild-caught salmon is keto-friendly. It’s low-carb and has a good amount of protein and nutrients. But, to get these incredible benefits for the brain, be sure the salmon you choose is wild-caught and not farm-raised.
Try having your salmon with a kale salad topped with olive oil and unfortified nutritional yeast to take your brain health to the next level.

lately as a result of all this keto talk, i have been buying wild-caught lox (salmon) and just eating it as it is, without anything accompanying it. that may sound odd, but really, it tastes great and is sooooooo satisfying, which kind of makes sense since it may be the most nutrient-dense food on the entire planet. about its only drawback is that it is rather expensive, so i eat only a few ounces of the stuff maybe once every two weeks or so
Hey Doc, I applied a lot of Ur tips in lowering cholesterol. Well, I got my bloodwork done & it is excellent. I also went from 270lbs to 205lbs & feel like I’m in my 20s again. I accomplished this all within 10 months. The doctor wanted me to go on medication originally to lower my cholesterol which I turned it down. Well the bottom line, Ur tips worked. Thank you & God bless you!

(5 or 6 days out of the week) -I always biked at night when my Kids slept , slept well afterwards -I STAYED away from bread, pasta, chips, snacks, & alcohol -I tried to increase the protein, chicken , steak, fish, pork , & eggs -always ate greens with meals -ate healthy fats -oatmeal -organic olive oil & apple cider vinegar -pistachios & cashews -I also applied a David Goggins mindset -I also did some push-ups , curls, & sit ups & eventually pull ups -30 minutes exercise is key , get the blood flowing -but the bottom line what worked for me might not work for U… -don’t give up & never give in

I gave up meat for 7 years but still ate fish which was mainly wild & salmon the most I ate but I ended up with lots of neurological issues to the point of experiencing MS/Parkinsons/FND symptoms amongst many others.
