Here's a transcript of the video:

A complete and balanced diet is probably the most sound advice, but some specific types of food are especially good for brain health. Here are a few of the best:

Fish:
*****
The original brain food contains

lots of omega-3 fatty acids and fish oils, especially cold water fish like salmon and cod.

Omega-3s are beneficial in a number of ways, including promoting neuronal growth, improved cholesterol, and fortification of myelin sheaths which facilitate communication between neurons.

Vegetables:
************

This is a great source of antioxidants, which may reduce the risk of developing cognitive impairment by diminishing oxidative stress.

Spinach, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and cauliflower are among the top candidates.

Fruits:
*******
Like vegetables, fruits are rich in antioxidants. However, fruit tastes better. Some of your healthiest options are blueberries, blackberries, cranberries, strawberries, raspberries, plums, avocados, oranges, red grapes, red bell peppers, cherries and kiwis.

Water:
*******

Be sure to get enough to keep your body and brain hydrated. Dehydration can cause a headache now, and can lead to long-term neuronal damage sustained from elevated stress hormones.

Chocolate:
************

Last (and arguably least beneficial) is cocoa beans, which contain the flavanol epicatechin and antioxidants. Dark chocolate is best, and avoid candy bars with lots of added sugars. Also, recent research suggests that chocolate can improve memory.

Just like you exercise your body, your brain also needs a workout to stay healthy and maintain peak performance.

Scientifically designed brain games are a great option because you can have fun and improve the health of your brain at the same time.

Thousands of people have started playing such scientific brain games and have reported increased memory, concentration and attention.
