Walnuts

Walnuts are another excellent source of polyunsaturated fats, including omega-3 fatty acids. These especially favor the process of neurogenesis in the body (the production of neurons) and help prevent cerebral atrophy (loss of neurons/brain shrinkage). They also provide the body with steady energy, keeping us more alert and productive. Sneak them into your morning oatmeal, salads and baked goods.
