Be aware of foods which inhibit brain and memory function such as:

Alcohol leaves your brain feeling foggy, confused and dull.

Processed foods

Made from heavily refined ingredients and additional additives and chemicals that may lead to excessive food cravings, addictions and chronic diseases.

Sugar

You may consider sugar as tasty, satisfying and irresistible however I would describe it as addicting, toxic and deadly. Sugar has the same hedonic effect on your brain as any drug, making you dependent on it. Not only diabetes but other deadly diseases that arise from over consumption of sugar are Alzheimer's and Cancer.
