And i drink Clipper white tea (even more polyphenols and less caffiene than green tea).

    Honestly, I did know that fast food can't really improve anything much but make you feel stuffed when you eat too much. And I don't usually enjoy any of lists mentioned in the video except purple grapes and for chocolate, it must be sweet ones. I believe that is why I can't really remember vividly about my childhood events and even people. At this point, I really need to be proactive handling my food routine to work my brain functions better especially for my long term memory. 👐👍

That there are representatives of experiences held in our brains is wonderful and where no sensory information, that our brains create sensory experience. Dreams, memories of feeling. ❤

    OK we’re getting somewhere. I have some follow up questions for you. 1) can we be sure those “improved memory scores” were the result of eating fruit or the result of not being malnourished? 2) can you cite actual studies or just say that “studies show” because you’re reading a script? My Grandmother ate what the government recommended and still got Alzheimer’s even though she worked everyday, even though she was really smart she even forgot me, one of her closest grandkids. She had no idea who I was. She wasn’t a smoker or drinker so you can’t blame that and she wasn’t lazy So lifestyle is completely eliminated from causation. Maybe the grains and sugar whether refined or carbohydrates are to blame? Some have speculated that Alzheimer’s is caused by oxidation in our brains and not cooking in aluminum, copper or iron cookware would’ve prevented this, would it have? They claim stainless steel would’ve prevented it but you have a proven source of dangerous chromium in stainless steel, so no it’s no better. So cook on glass only? Well it’s a thought but glass can be troublesome too from certain heavy metals used to give glass its colors.

    Memory is NOT in our brain.
    And in our current Developing-Circuit,
    Memory is for down-going, (Minimum-performance)
    but the up-going Intelligence will fully compense.
    Yaeh, living=fresh food is better for our overall development.
    Memory/store, recall/Instinct, + Feeling and Intelligence,
    Power=Gravity is also a part of mental functions.

    Very well presented, thanks! I've heard blueberries help with increasing neurogenesis (the process of growing new brain cells)

    Grapes/Grape Juice
    Blue Berries/Any berries I guess
    Dark Chocolate
    Fish/Fish Oil
    Dont eat too much junk foods
    Eat greeny foods, vegetables and fruits
    Exercise daily
    Get enough sleep, 7-8 hours, if you have time in the afternoon you can nap for 3-5 hours.
    Exercise your brain by playing board games and other brain training games, read books and learn something new everyday, watch documentaries and news, watch educational videos
    Limit screen time, too much screen time causes poor memory and poor attention span because the uv light affects your brain, the uv light also gives you insomnia and fatigue.
    Meditate/Manage Stress
    Breathe fresh air, go outside for a walk or ride your bike
    Socialize with people.
