What spices are good for your brain?
Fortunately, Dr. Amen has put together a list of the top 10 spices that can improve overall brain health and help to prevent cognitive decline.
Obviously, there’s no thyme to waste (sorry, I couldn’t help myself), so here are the top 10:
- Turmeric
- Saffron
- Sage
- Cinnamon
- Basil
- Thyme
- Oregano
- Garlic
- Ginger
- Rosemary
Puns aside, thyme is responsible for increasing DHA which is a fatty acid in the brain. DHA plays a role in brain health and is particularly important for pregnant mothers to ensure healthy brain development in their children.
