The Top 9 Foods for Cognitive Dementia

The top nine foods for cognitive dementia are: dark leafy green vegetables, beans or lentils, berries, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices, cruciferous vegetables, whole grains, and tea. These foods are rich in polyphenols, anti-inflammatories, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and plant-based proteins. They have been shown to have positive effects on cognitive health and lower rates of cognitive decline.
