Smart Dinner

Here’s a suggestion from "The Dinner Choice That Thwarts Alzheimer’s" at RealAge:

Recipe for a sharp mind: chop some mango, jalapeno, and cilantro; toss together with lime juice, salt, and pepper; then spoon generously over grilled fish.

The combo of fatty acids from the fish and antioxidants from the fresh fruit helps protect the brain from dementia.

Other brain foods:  nuts, fish (especially wild salmon, whitefish, tilapia, catfish, flounder, mahi mahi),  soybeans, tomato juice and spaghetti sauce, olive oil, nut oils, fish oils, flaxseed, avocados, real chocolate (at least 70% cocoa).  Read the full article for the explanation of the benefits and recommended amounts.
