Leafy Greens: The Ultimate Brain Food
“Leafy greens are a crucial component of the six pillars of nutritional psychiatry.
They are versatile, nutrient-dense, and pack a multitude of brain-healthy plant compounds, including fiber, folate, and vitamins C and K (1), which promote healthy brain aging and mood. Some of my favorite leafy greens include spinach, Swiss chard, collard greens, arugula, romaine, and dandelion greens.”
