Cook a Pot of Beet Greens if You Want a Memory Boost!

Why? Because they are full of magnesium.

If you need to remember lines in a play or give a speech…eat more beet greens! Why? Because they are full of magnesium. Nearly 100 miligrams in one cup (cooked). That’s more than you get in a banana. Researchers found magnesium gives your brain a competitive edge. They studied 6,000 participants from ages 40 to 73. Those that consumed at least 550mg of magnesium daily had roughly a one-year younger brain age versus those consuming 350mg per day. They noted this could improve brain health, preserve cognitive ability, and lower dementia risk.
