Brain Health and Nutrition: What’s the Connection?
What we eat plays a big role in how our brain works. Certain nutrients support memory, mood, and long-term mental resilience.
Top Brain-Friendly Foods
- Oily fish (like mackerel or salmon) — rich in omega-3
- Leafy greens — support blood flow and cognition
- Berries — full of antioxidants that protect brain cells
- Wholegrains — provide steady energy for focus
- Water — dehydration is a common cause of confusion
Nutrition is a key pillar in our approach to cognitive resilience — explored further in our Eating Well Hub and Digital Resilience learning centre.
