Several foods improve brain activity and allow people to maintain good conditions for mental abilities, according to Russian dietitian Mikhail Ginsburg.

According to him, fatty sea fish, such as salmon or mackerel, have a more positive effect on the brain.

“They contain a lot of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are necessary to build the membranes of nerve cells,” Ginsburg told Zvezda TV.

Eggs and egg yolks are in second place. These foods contain phospholipids, which are needed to build phospholipid membranes.

“Colorful vegetables,” such as carrots, tomatoes, peppers, and pumpkins are in third place. “They contain beta-carotene and carotenoids, which have a clear antioxidant effect,” the expert noted.

Citrus fruits are in fourth place on this list, and several spices are in fifth place, including turmeric, ginger, and garlic.
