Although eating healthier can cost more, there are a number of readily available budget brain foods.


#1 Almonds

Almonds have lots of vitamin E, which has been shown to prevent cognitive decline, boost alertness, and preserve memory.

#2 Apples

The antioxidant quercetin in apple skin is believed to block free radicals, which can damage brain cells.

#3 Eggs

Eggs are high in protein, B vitamins, vitamin D, iron, and carotenoids.

#4 Leafy green vegetables

Leafy green vegetables are brimming with magnesium, which helps dilate blood vessels and boost blood flow to the brain.

#5 Oranges

Oranges have a lot of vitamin C, which helps keep brain cells healthy, and flavonoids, which are associated with improving memory and cognition.

#6 Seafood (canned)

Canned seafood provides protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and B vitamins. Limit consumption of tuna to only a few times per week and stick to the smaller varieties, labeled “chunk light,” to limit your exposure to mercury.

#7 Sweet potatoes

Sweet potatoes have iron, calcium, selenium, most B vitamins, and vitamin C, high in fiber and beta-carotene, an antioxidant, which converts to vitamin A once consumed.

#8 Whole grains

Whole grains like brown rice, steel-cut oats, and whole-grain pasta contain many nutrients that refined grains generally don’t have, such as B vitamins, iron, magnesium, and selenium.
