6. Leafy Greens and Vegetables
Though not very well-liked, leafy greens and colourful vegetables like cabbage, kale, spinach, tomatoes, pumpkins, carrots and red sweet-potatoes, are great for the brain of children and adults. These vegetables are rich in Vitamin B6, B12 and folate, which are essential compounds needed within the brain to break down homocystein levels, which can lead to forgetfulness or even Alzheimer's disease. Also rich in iron content which is needed for cognitive functioning, eat your greens and coloured vegetables to keep your brain going.
