Like other parts of your body, your brain develops over time. When a person reaches the age of 20, their brain begins to age and gradually loses some of its neurons. Therefore, join us to find out which foods are good for the brain in the developmental stage of children, as well as us adults!
1. Blueberries
Many studies suggest that a meal high in blueberries can help aging rats improve their learning and mobility skills.

Many scientists recommend adding 1 cup of blueberries to yogurt, oatmeal or breakfast every day to protect your child's brain.

Salmon is a fish that lives in the deep sea, and is very rich in fats, which are essential nutrients for the proper functioning of the brain, called omega-3 fats. In addition, omega-3 fats contain anti-inflammatory properties. Omega-3s are also found in other fish such as sardines and herring.

Avocados are also very good for people with high blood pressure because they help lower blood pressure, which helps promote healthy brain development.
