Foods to protect the brain?

Some information circulates to the effect that dried fruits and cereals, dairy products, fruits and vegetables, fish and vegetable oils, as well as organ meats, improve memory and slow down brain decline.

Is this list of foods too general?

Diet and brain health

Our lifestyle, our diet, certain diseases and pollution are all factors that can contribute to what is called oxidative stress, an inevitable consequence of our interaction with oxygen.

But as we age, the brain becomes more vulnerable to it. This vulnerability, along with chronic inflammation, vascular problems or exposure to toxic substances can lead to the loss of neurons and synapses.

This is what can cause problems with perception, attention, memory, decision-making and language comprehension.
