To Think Faster, Eat Salmon
I have posted earlier about eating blueberries for a long-term memory, and this time, we will sharpen our minds to think faster by eating salmon or mackerel.
Salmon or mackerel has omega-3 fatty acids found in its fatty sides and are a primary building block of brain tissue, this means, they’ll amp up your thinking power. Salmon is also rich in niacin, which can help ward off Alzheimer’s disease and slow the rate of cognitive decline.
However, be very careful of saturated fats, which can clog blood vessels and prevent the flow of nutrients and blood to the brain. Just remember, not all fats are created equal. And you might think that ice cream is one of those brainy foods? You’re wrong, better think again – fast!

I love salmon and also tuna and try to add them to my diet at least twice a week. I don't like the stronger taste of mackerel though. Watching what you eat as you get older is a challenge sometimes and making sure you get enough omega 3 is a must. I'm glad I don't eat ice cream much :)
