Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Not only does extra virgin olive oil improve learning and memory, but it also combats diseases like Alzheimer’s.
According to experts, this is due to properties that fight against ADDLs, toxic proteins known to attack memory-forming synapses, which as a result, induce progressive memory disease.
Leafy greens
Leafy greens like kale, Swiss chard, spinach and romaine lettuce (loaded with vitamins A and K) can help ward off dementia, research says.
In one study, which evaluated the eating habits and mental ability of about 950 adults for an average of five years, those who ate one to two servings of leafy greens each day saw slower mental deterioration than those who didn’t consume any veggies.
Even after factors like age, education and family history of dementia were factored in this was the case.
