What’s good for your heart is good for your brain

You may have heard the expression: “You are what you eat.” This rings true when it comes to keeping your brain sharp. As you age, eating a healthy diet helps to keep your brain as healthy as possible. It can also improve your brain’s ability to sustain long-term health and fight illnesses.

A healthy brain begins with a healthy heart. Eating a nutritious diet can reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. But did you know that it could also reduce your risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer’s disease? A healthy diet helps your brain
function at its best and slows down memory loss.

Your brain is one of your most vital organs. It plays a role in your every action and every thought, and just like the rest of your body, it needs to be taken care of.
