Coconut oil is the king of good fats needed to fuel the brain. It also contains anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antiviral properties to suppress inflammation-causing cells. Coconut oil has been shown to improve memory in aging adults and can even destroy harmful gut bacteria, which is an important part of keeping the brain healthy as the two are greatly connected. Swap out your vegetable cooking oil for coconut oil or add some to your favorite baked goods.

Not many foods in the world have a higher antioxidant count than blueberries. They are full of vitamin K, vitamin C, and fiber, all of which are needed for great brain function and blood flow. They also contain large amounts of gallic acid, which is needed to protect our brains from neurodegenerative diseases in the future. Add a handful to your morning smoothie or eat them fresh as a snack along with some nuts or seeds.
