Walnuts and walnut oil
Top 5 in Top 10 Best Anti-inflammatory Foods
Walnuts contain important plant chemicals as well as a high concentration of polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids. Both of these are known to benefit your brain and help it work more efficiently. They accomplish this by decreasing the inflammatory process of oxidation and improving nerve messaging.
In addition to high levels of healthy fats, other nutrients found in walnuts such as vitamin E, folate, and the plant chemical ellagic acid all contribute to these protective and memory-enhancing properties. Walnuts have the highest concentration of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids of any tree nut. It's no surprise, then, that eating walnuts helps manage cholesterol levels and lowers inflammatory markers linked to heart disease.
