1. Almond Butter
Nuts and nut butters are the best source of vitamin E, a crucial antioxidant for protection against cell degradation, which is associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Plus, since nuts are high in monounsaturated fats and fiber, they’re super-filling. Almonds are also high in calcium, magnesium, and potassium, and they help stabilize blood pressure, which is important for boosting brain health.
2. Avocados
The fruit is full of monounsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E, both beneficial for brain health. Try adding avocados to your favorite salads or as a secret baking ingredient: You can swap it for butter in a lot of traditional recipes for cakes and breads. Just remember that although avocado is high in healthy fat, it’s still higher in calories than other fruits (a quarter of an avocado is about 60 calories).
