6 Foods To Boost Memory

Coffee

Coffee lovers, rejoice! It turns out your morning ritual could have some serious memory perks. Researchers from the University of Innsbruck in Austria found that giving people the caffeine equivalent of two cups of coffee improved memory skills, reaction time, and neuron signaling in the brain as compared to brain activity without caffeine. The long-term benefits are even more mind-boggling. In a European study of 676 older men, those who averaged three cups of daily coffee experienced less mental decline than nondrinkers over a 10-year period. So if you’re a java aficionado, bottoms up and enjoy the brain boost that comes along for the ride (just go easy on the sugar!).
