Instructions

  1. Choose whole foods over processed ones.
    Replace all processed foods with whole foods.

  2. Eat more healthy fat.
    Eat seafood such as salmon, sardines, trout, herring, tuna, mackerel, mussels, etc. Consume algae, especially seaweed and spirulina, which contain this difficult-to-find omega-3.  Choose foods high in ALA (type of Omega 3), like chia seeds, hemp seeds, flax seeds, walnuts, edamame, and kidney beans.

  3. Eat carbs.
    Eat complex carbs like whole grains, vegetables, nuts, beans, and fruit. For example, eat barley, millet, brown rice, wild rice, quinoa, amaranth, whole oats, farro, and buckwheat.

  4. Include the best plant-based foods for brain health.
    Eat various fruit and vegetables, especially dark green, orange, yellow and red vegetables. Include legumes (chickpeas, beans, lentils, edamame, soybean, etc.), nuts  (almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, cashew), and seeds (pumpkin, chia, hemp, and sunflower seeds).

  5. Eat to support your gut-brain axis.
    Avoid processed foods, and eat foods full of fiber and probiotics such as tempeh, tofu, kimchi, kefir, etc.

  6. Try intermittent fasting.
    Make sure to consult a doctor first before fasting. Fast for twelve hours by eating a nutritious meal high in protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and low in fat around 7 or 8 p.m. Drink plenty of water or unsweetened tea to stay hydrated.
