Food for the Brain

Brain is one of the most vital organs in our body, if it's function is impaired, many other organs will be affected and if it's cells start to die, it's harder to regenerate, unlike the cells in other parts of our body. This is why it's important that we care for our brain's health as early as possible, to preserve it's youthfulness and to prevent brain-related disorders from succumbing us at age we could still flourish.
One of the steps to keep our brain healthy is by consumption. So, my share for today will be on foods for a healthy, nourished and active brain.
