The role our brain plays in our body system cant be over emphasized. The brain is the chief controller of every function the human body. It's like the batteries of a remote control or any device at all. Without the batteries the device is utterly useless and that's why just as we take care of our voice for singers, muscles for models we all must also learn how to care for the brain because its the most important part of the body. A human being can cope a while with some health problems in just any part of the body but once the brain is affected, even in the smallest ways, it affects the behavior of the individual.

Nuts are great for the brain, especially they contain some brain boosting nutrients such as vitamin E, healthy fats and plant compound. An adequate intake of vitamin E helps in reducing coignative decline especially in adults and elderly individuals. And the highest of these nuts according to research is the walnut because they have a significantly high concentration of Omega-3 Fatty acids. some other nuts include
*almond and hazelnuts
*cashew nuts

these fishes are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and regular consumption of them would keep the brain healthy, strong and active. And remember that the care of the brain comes first.
