Avoid these foods

If you want to keep your mind sharp, you should also avoid the following four foods, which can be your brain’s worst enemy:

  • Sugars (especially fructose);
  • Processed grains (which are readily converted to blood sugar);
  • Artificial sweeteners (like aspartame, which is linked to brain damage and brain tumors);
  • Soy (as unfermented soy consumption is associated with low brain weight).

The health decisions you make today can protect your brain in the years to come. Alzheimer’s, dementia, and memory loss are all concerning to most people as they age. Even though some forms of dementia may be reversible with treatment, Alzheimer’s disease is not reversible and it has no cure. Changing your lifestyle to incorporate steps to prevent Alzheimer’s is your best bet at protecting your brain and preserving your mental sharpness.
