Fish:<\/strong> According to WebMD, a\u00a0protein source linked to a great brain boost is fish; it’s rich in omega-3 fatty acids that are key for brain health.

Studies also show that diets rich in blueberries improved both the learning and muscle function of aging rats, making them mentally equal to much younger rats.
