According to brain health experts, Walnuts are especially good for the brain and considered the healthiest nuts. This is due to the amount of healthy fats, nutrients and antioxidants they contain, specifically vitamin E and polyphenols which are known for blocking the inflammation that prematurely ages the brain.

🧠 We know that diet plays a huge role when it comes to preventing “brain fog,” supporting long-term memory, and even helping to boost your mood.

🧠 According to many scientific studies, the best way to eat for brain health is to eat a plant heavy diet high in leafy greens, other vegetables, nuts and seeds, beans and legumes, whole grains, fish, olive oil and fruits, and berries.

🧠 Nuts and seeds in particular are incredibly good for brain health because they are high in fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants which all play crucial roles in supporting the brain.

🧠 In one study of 3,266 people over 65, people who ate nuts regularly had a 17 percent less risk of cognitive impairment than those who didn’t eat nuts regularly!

It has been recently reported that the World Health Organization’s cancer research agency, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, declared the artificial sweetener aspartame a possible carcinogen. Aspartame is in many foods, including in a majority of diet sodas. Carcinogens like aspartame can cause cancer by mutating cells' DNA.

⭐️ Caroline’s advice: Just use a little REAL sugar instead.

Current studies pair garlic with cancer prevention, due to an enzyme in garlic called alliinase. The enzyme alliinase produces allicin which is being linked to cancer prevention. But know that not all garlic is equal! To get this benefit from your garlic consumption, once you have chopped or crushed your garlic for cooking, let it sit for 10 minutes before cooking, allowing the alliinase to produce the allicin. 🧄
