Dark chocolate
A lot of health enthusiasts have raved about the benefits of dark chocolate. It is abundant in fiber, iron, and magnesium. It also has an ample amount of flavonols that are great for blood vessels. Healthy blood vessels mean better blood flow. Better blood flow translates to more oxygen to the brain and healthy cognitive function and memory. The stimulants in dark chocolate also stimulate brain function.
Spinach
Not just empowering for sailors, spinach is great for the brain. The nitrates found in this vegetable can increase blood flow to the brain and improve overall brain performance. Also, spinach has been found to delay the onset of mental illnesses such as dementia, as well as the growth of cancer cells and tumors.

Walnuts
Walnuts are great for people who are trying to lose weight. But they’re also amazing in keeping the brain young, so to speak. The vitamin E and omega three fatty acids found in Walnuts can slow down the cognitive aging process. For those with digestive problems, simply soak them in water for six to eight hours.
