The brain is a powerful organ that requires a lot of energy to function properly. The brain receives its energy through good blood flow, so it makes sense to say what’s good for your heart is also good for your brain. Research is beginning to show a connection between the food we eat and brain health. In addition, obesity, high blood pressure and unhealthy cholesterol levels have all been linked to increased risk of dementia later in life.
