What are some"brain foods"?

Question

I was involved in an automobile accident which resulted in Traumatic Brain Injury, I recovered beautifully but still suffer from a few residual problems such as: attention span, concentration level, and most of all, short term memory loss. I know blueberries are great for memory, and I dont like nuts and fish literally makes me ill. I am on a medication to help and I take a couple of different vitamens but I would like to know what other foods/beverages I can partake in, that will help my overall brain function and memory.

Answer 1

Hi Onedimple,
Funny how people here don't read the question. You say fish makes you ill, yet several answers say fish. Oh well.

I did a web search for you. A very good editorial (professionally written) article I found on ways on brain supplements (besides a bunch of ads which I don't trust) was here: http://www.champhealth.com/brainsupplements.html

The article talks more about supplements and spices rather than foods, but sprinkling tumeric on your foods will work quite well for you, too.

I hope this helps you.

Hi,...
In traditional arabic medicine there are some foods known for their benefits for the brain and nervous system in general:

1-Dates!!(It is very rich in phosphuros and magnesium)) which are very important for neuron function....so if u dont like fish..u can substitute it with dates(concerning the phosphurous).Here in arabia they r abundant...but I know that america has it all :-)...so try to find some.

2-Raisans....are well known for their benefits for memeory in particular.

3-Thyme.(take it grounded with sesame for best results)....this herb is very essential in some arab populations on the eastern medditeranian....like palestine and lebanon.......if u really eat it every day for a long time....u will notice the difference.

3-As a medical student..I advise u of taking some vitamin B tablets(vitamins B1 till B12(as a separate tablet)............but please ask your doctor before taking any vitamns...and dont take them on a regular basis for too long((ALWAYS ASK YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT ANYTHING YOU TAKE NO MATTER WHAT))......((vitamin b family is a corner stone for neuronal function)).

Wish you the best of everything...and may god heal u to perfect as before.....love.
