Nothing works better than homemade foods like dal (lentils), Khichdi (dish made from rice and lentils) and Palak (spinach) when it comes to brain health. The simple and low-calorie meals can be customised to be low in sodium, unhealthy fats and other preservatives that are usually present in restaurant foods. Excess sodium can lead to various health issues including cognitive decline as research shows that it can lead to poor function of brain cells (endothelial cells).
According to Harvard Medical school, green leafy vegetables like kale, spinach, collards, and broccoli are rich in brain-healthy nutrients like vitamin K, lutein, folate, and beta carotene.
