Rich in antioxidants, vitamin E, and crucial compounds like sesamin and sesamol, sesame seeds help protect brain cells from oxidative stress, inflammation, and aging. Studies suggest they support memory, reduce anxiety, and may even help ward off neurodegenerative diseases. It’s not hype. It’s biochemistry doing what God designed it to do.

Garlic supports cognitive function, and it protects against age-related memory loss and neurodegenerative diseases. Aged garlic extract is particularly known for its neuroprotective effects. 2. Blueberries. These delicious little berries are high in flavonoids which have antioxidants and neuroprotective properties. Blueberries are the fruit that protects neurons most. Blueberries protect the brain and improve mental performance. 3. Sesame seeds. In additi...
