Coffee
Coffee is a surprising addition to our list because most people assume that the excess caffeine is really bad for you. We should point out that coffee in excess really is bad for you as caffeine can be an addictive substance replete with side effects. Much like red wine, a moderate amount of coffee every day can have a longstanding benefit to your health. Drinking up to 24 ounces of coffee every day reportedly decreases your risk of contracting Parkinson’s disease by up to 40% as well as lowering your risk of Alzheimer’s by 20 percent. Researchers point to the caffeine as the reason for this efficacy. Caffeine apparently helps to keep your neurotransmitters focused and on point. Like we said, however, if you drink too much coffee you could be in for some major side effects such as: irregular heart beats, diabetes, migraines, and anxiety.

Fish
Most of us will agree that we have been told to eat fish pretty much whenever possible, provided that you avoid the stuff plagued with mercury. Fish is a great lean protein that is the perfect addition to almost any diet. Avoiding factory farmed fish and going for the fresh stuff will give you a food that is great for your body, taste buds, and even your brain. One of the primary brain boosters in fish is the Omega 3 fatty acid content that is found in fish. Research shows that the antioxidants found in Omega 3 fatty acids can do wonders for your brain and that they will go a long way toward lowering your own personal risk for dementia later in life. Dementia, with Alzheimer’s being the most common, will allegedly affect over 80 million people by the year 2040. You can make sure that you aren’t one of those people by using this list and eating right, now. Add fish to your diet as often as you like as there is no risk to having too much Omega 3.
