Celery
It’s time to stop skipping celery, because what it lacks in taste it more than makes up for in brain power. Celery is a rich source of luteolin, a plant compound believed to reduce inflammation in the brain, thereby protecting it from the aging process. A 2010 study found that luteolin slowed cognitive decline in older mice. You don’t have to chomp down a huge stick of celery to reap its benefits: Try chopping some up and adding it to this easy chicken salad, or tossing a bunch into the next soup you make.
