Let’s talk about the #1 food for the brain.

It’s a misconception that the brain can't regenerate—certain parts of the brain can regrow.

The top foods to avoid to support a healthy brain are:
1. Omega-6 fatty acids (soy oil, corn oil, canola oil, and cottonseed oil)
2. Sugar
3. Refined carbs

The best food to support brain health is wild-caught salmon.

Wild-caught salmon can help enhance the brain in many ways, including supporting:
• Memory
• Focus
• Thinking
• Problem-solving
• Learning

It may also be beneficial for those with mood disorders or brain inflammation. Consuming more wild-caught salmon may even help reduce insulin resistance, which is at the core of many brain problems.

The brain is the fattiest organ in the body. Omega-3 fatty acids are the healthy fats your brain needs. They’re the building blocks of your brain. Wild-caught salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids.

Wild-caught salmon is keto-friendly. It’s low-carb and has a good amount of protein and nutrients. But, to get these incredible benefits for the brain, be sure the salmon you choose is wild-caught and not farm-raised.

Try having your salmon with a kale salad topped with olive oil and unfortified nutritional yeast to take your brain health to the next level.

Thank you Doc. While growing up as kids it was common knowledge that kids who eat a lot of fish turn out to be smarter. Our grandparents preached this over and over.

I can confirm what should avoid.
Since I started low carbohydrate diet, my head actually works better
Moreover, eggs also take credit because I eat a lot of them
Hint: sardines has all 3 minerals for brain and it's ready to eat wherever

Dr. Berg I keep seeing your commercials and saw you on a magazine recently. Congratulations you deserve all the success.

Hey Doc, I applied a lot of Ur tips in lowering cholesterol. Well, I got my bloodwork done & it is excellent. I also went from 270lbs to 205lbs & feel like I’m in my 20s again. I accomplished this all within 10 months. The doctor wanted me to go on medication originally to lower my cholesterol which I turned it down. Well the bottom line, Ur tips worked. Thank you & God bless you!

I just got back from the Great Minnesota State Fair (again!) and spent a small fortune on an extra virgin olive oil where the owners of the booth farm the olives in a region next to the Mediterranean Sea. They said it has very high levels of polyphenols (700+) I literally bought it because of what I learned from this page. Thank you Dr Berg!

I eat wild caught Salmon by Safe Catch twice a week. When I started taking a high quality mushroom powder, which I add to my coffee, my brain fog went away.

[khemaloving]

Started alternating astaxanthin and krill oil two weeks ago. My brain is loving it…

[kateskeys]

This might sound corny but Dr. Berg inspires me.
And so do people posting
Thanks everyone

Gosh couldn’t wait to hear this video after dinner. Wow I just had all that he spoke of for dinner. On keto …. down 17 lbs since June 30th. On my way! Thank you Dr Berg. 😊

[onlythestrong]

I’m learning more necessary stuff here than i did in school.❤

[mosesCordovero-uwvw]

lately as a result of all this keto talk, i have been buying wild-caught lox (salmon) and just eating it as it is, without anything accompanying it. that may sound odd, but really, it tastes great and is satisfying, which kind of makes sense since it may be the most nutrient-dense food on the entire planet. about its only drawback is that it is rather expensive, so i eat only a few ounces of the stuff maybe once every two weeks or so

Beets give me an immediate brain boost. And a friend of mine who grew up in Hungary used to eat grape sugar before exams. He was one of the top mathematicians in Europe for a time.

Wild caught salmon with kale and EVOO is on my menu tonight! Thanks so much Dr.Berg. You really take such good care of us! ❤

[PandaManda]

Dr. Berg, thank you for making your videos so easy to grasp, the video description has the important points, and not riddled with ads. 🙏🏼 Nurse Amanda

Hi Dr Berg I started to take iodine and salmon from last year and I see significant improvement in my logical thinking and I also gave my son Iodine since he was born and he is quite smart though he is autistic and he is now 2 years old kudos to you keep up the good work for the whole humanity 👍

[JReuben]

I break my 16:8 fast every day with grilled salmon + Kale + walnuts
qualitively I feel the difference in both mental clarity and recall.

[novo]

I would like tp know if the canned wild caught salmon is the equal to the fresh . Love your videos. thank you! ❤

[beverleyroberts]

I love your videos Dr Berg, full of great information for nutrition and the body! Pity they don't teach some of this in schools. It's something kids need to know as well as adults. Your health is everything! 😚
