Five all-natural foods for your brain

You've read the research, played the brain-training games, and now you're wondering if there's anything else you can do to help tweak your noggin. If you're one of those people who love to fine-tune your diet, you may find this list of five healthy, all-natural brain foods helpful in deciding what to add to the daily routine.

BrainReady went the extra mile to compile this list based on the scientific health benefits for each food, consumer reports, and even ease of incorporation into people's diets. So what are they anyway?

The first item they cover is wild salmon. By itself, true wild salmon is amazingly healthy in just about every way (great source of protein and omega-3, for example). As far as the brain benefits go, this fish improves your mood, synaptic junctions, and helps ward off dementia and Alzheimer's as well.

Matcha is another outstanding item they cover in-depth. For those of you not familiar with it, matcha is one of the highest-quality forms of green tea. Specifically it refers to the fine powder you get from grinding up the Gyokuru leaves. Matcha is not brewed, and it is not served with boiling water; it's definitely the no-frills version of green tea. Because of this super-concentration, the effects are that much more potent. Everything beneficial about "normal" green tea is amplified in matcha (L-Theanine for a calm meditation, antioxidants, etc).

This is just a taste of the information they delve into. Check out the rest to get way more information and more foods that can help the brain over time.
