because the junk food increase inflammation in the brain, reduce blood flow in the brain, it's bad for you.

Now, when it comes to what's good for you, you wanna eat food that increase blood flow to the brain, reduce inflammation, and increase the natural cleansing that happens in the brain.

There's no miracle food.

I mean, there's some fruits and vegetables that are particularly good, like leafy green vegetables are amazingly good for the brain.

because many of them have a lot of high levels of antioxidants.

Some of them have iron and zinc and many other things.

So leafy green vegetables are particularly good for the brain.

My favorite fruit is blueberries because in addition to having a lot of antioxidants, they also have something called BDNF, brain drive neurotrophic factor.

BDNF is like a miracle girl for the brain.

The best way to increase your BDNF is actually exercise.

But the blueberries help to increase BDNF as well.

And that's one of my favorite fruits.

Almost every day I have a bowl of blueberries.

Now, there are no other fruits that I really swear by.

I try to have a variety of fruits every day because citrus fruits have their own advantages.

And watermelon, I love the taste of it.

I don't know if it has any vitamins in it, but I just love the taste of it.

So fruits and vegetables are great.

Leafy green vegetables are good.

When it comes to meat, I leave that up to you.
