Today’s Bite
🔬 Leafy greens can keep your brain 11 years younger.
Researchers at Rush University found that adults who ate 1–2 servings of leafy greens per day showed significantly slower cognitive decline — the equivalent of being 11 years younger in brain function.
🥬 Spinach, kale, arugula… your brain loves them.
🧠 What This Means for You:
You don’t necessarily need nootropics or fancy supplements — just eat more greens.
Toss a handful into your eggs, smoothie, or lunch bowl and build up that brain bank.
