Welcome to the Dr. Gundry Podcast. The weekly podcast where Dr. G gives you the tools you need to boost your health and live your healthiest life.

I've got five amazing foods. Your brain will love and one probably isn't going to love.

Now it's true that there's an amazing connection between the food you eat and your brain health.

So today I'm going to share five amazing foods your brain will love.

And one probably isn't going to love many of them you probably already have in your kitchen.

All right, first up the blackberries.

Believe it or not, blackberries have far more polyphenol content than blueberries.

And yes, it's true that blueberries have really nice polyphenols and studies in America have shown that eating blueberries increases the amount of polyphenols substances in your blood.

But your bang three or buck, blackberries have far more polyphenols than blueberries and they have a much more sugar content.

And as almost all of us now know sugar is one of the biggest enemies for your brain health.

Now how do polyphenols support brain health? Well there's actually multiple mechanisms but one of the things that I stress,

in unlocking the key to code, is that polyphenols actually make the mitochondria in your brain healthier and more stimulated and uncoupled.

And today we're going to talk about a couple of mitochondria but quite frankly the more you uncoupled the mitochondria and neurons in your brain,

that healthier neurons will work and the better your brain will be.

Now wait a minute Dr. I thought we weren't supposed to eat fruit.

Well you're not supposed to eat fruit that isn't in season but when you eat fruit you want to look for the highest polyphenol content of fruit and that's blackberries.

But please, just like everything else, eat these in season and eat organic blackberries.

Alright, basil seeds. Now most people think that chia seeds are great for brain health.

That's because chia seeds contain a short chain omega three fat.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of short chain omega three fat and I write a lot about them in unlocking the key to code.

But here's the deal, your brain does not contain short chain omega three fat.

Your brain contains long chain omega three fats, primarily DHA, EPA and DPA.
