But today, nutrition is the first thing on many people's minds and the refrain from the classic '60's psychedelic anthem could easily have new meaning.
Indeed, our heads need a different kind of feeding these days - those in the know say that diet plays a significant role in brain function and its long-term health. And as the population ages (who me? never!)everyone should be aware of which foods feed our heads best.
Here's a list of the foods that qualify as "brain food;"
1) Spinach - iron, potassium & folate
2) Pomegranate juice - polyphenol
3) Almonds - calcium & potassium
4) Salmon - gotta get those Omega-3 fatty acids!
5) Orange tomatoes - apparently the color matters for
lycopene absorption
6) Blueberries - fight free radicals & inflammation
I'm sure that there are more foods that can be added to the list and if in doubt, go ask Alice, I think she'll know . . .
