If you’re looking for brain food – check your gender first.

Men and women should feed their brain accordingly...

Dr. Daniel G. Amen, author of “Unleash the Power of the Female Brain,” says men and women should focus on different foods to enhance their mental well-being. 

Food for thought for women includes:

• Chickpeas, which increase the brain’s production of serotonin.

• Sweet potatoes, because they don’t spike blood sugar as fast as white potatoes.

• Blueberries can reduce inflammation and enhance memory.

• Dark chocolate, which can improve verbal fluency and other mental functions.

Men should be thinking about:

• Salmon, which can improve memory and learning.

• Eggs, because they can reduce age-related brain shrinkage and improve cognitive function.

• Sesame seeds and Brazil nuts which can cut the risk of heart attack in men.
