The epidemic of dementia diseases, society's competitiveness for intelligence superiority, and the inability to work efficiently when the mental is disturbed all result from the same lack, a lack of brain power. Some days the human mind just doesn't function to its fullest potential. In response, more people are turning to consuming natural foods to give their thinking a boost.

When it comes to improving cognitive powers, there's no need to dip into complicated sciences or sift through ICD 10 coding for a solution. Every nutrient the body will ever need is already right here on the earth. Many of them are closer than you think; they are at your local market and refrigerator.  You just need to know the benefits of what you are already consuming. You may already have certain foods that are known to protect against age-associated mental decline in your kitchen.

Walnuts

These anti-inflammatory nuts are packed with nutrients. Surprisingly, they are the only nut source that supplies alpha linolenic acid. The nutrient promotes blood flow, which in turn allows for efficient delivery of oxygen to the brain.

Olive Oil

It's so much healthier than butter and margarines and a great source of monounsaturated fats, which are known to slow down brain aging. Replace fatty dressing and butter with olive oil in salads and pastas for a little brain stimulation.

Berries

There has been much discussion of the link between berry consumption and brain health. Diets high in blueberries, strawberries, and a few other berries are linked to slower mental decline. Mental areas, like memory and focus, in middle aged women can be improved by consuming dark berries daily.

Coffee and Chocolate

The mild stimulant found in coffee improves mental acuity. It not only offers an immediate boosting effect, its antioxidant richness also maintains brain health. Coffee can stave off depression in women while rich dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants and is healthy for the entire body. The caffeine content in pure chocolate is thought to play a role in mental sharpness as well.

Spinach

Spinach is a rich antioxidant lutein that is able to help protect against cognitive decline. One study at a prestigious college found that women who ate mostly leafy green and cruciferous vegetables had a markedly lower rate of cognitive decline.

And there it is. Medicine is respected and there's no way that eating these foods will put ICD training creators out of work. However, humans can work with medicine by consuming natural foods to stay mentally acute throughout the day.
