After the age of 25, we start to naturally lose brain cells. The good news is, scientists have discovered that you can grow new brain cells throughout your life. There are several habits you can adopt to promote the growth of new cells and keep your brain as sharp as ever.<span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-126\" class=\"ezoic-adpicker-ad\"><\/span><span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-111\" class=\"ezoic-adpicker-ad\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are nine habits that help you regrow brain cells:<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>1. Eat Blueberries<\/h3>\n<p>Blueberries are loaded with antioxidants. They also contain a flavonoid called anthocyanin dye, which is responsible for their blue coloring. Anthocyanin dye has the ability to produce new neurons in the brain.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4484\" src=\"http:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/blueberries-1-e1490196613663.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/blueberries-1-e1490196613663.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/blueberries-1-e1490196613663-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/blueberries-1-e1490196613663-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/blueberries-1-e1490196613663-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>2. Exercise<\/h3>\n<p>Regular endurance exercise such as jogging can promote new brain cell growth. Endurance exercise<span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-141\" class=\"ezoic-adpicker-ad\"><\/span><span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-115\" class=\"ezoic-adpicker-ad\"><\/span>stimulates the production of a protein known as FNDC5. This protein stimulates the production of another protein in the brain, known as BDNF, which promotes the growth of new nerves and synapses.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Eat Omega-3 Fatty Acids<\/h3>\n<p>Foods rich in Omega-3\u2019s help promote the growth of neurons. Add avocados, flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts and olive oil to your diet to make sure you get your daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4485\" src=\"http:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/avocado-oil-pic-e1464967659455-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/avocado-oil-pic-e1464967659455-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/avocado-oil-pic-e1464967659455-1-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/avocado-oil-pic-e1464967659455-1-768x501.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/avocado-oil-pic-e1464967659455-1-460x300.jpg 460w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>4. Drink Green Tea<\/h3>\n<p>Not only is green tea full of antioxidants, it also contains a compound known as epigallocatechin gallate or EGCG. EGCG has been linked to the growth of new brain cells, so drink up!<span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-118\" class=\"ezoic-adpicker-ad\"><\/span><span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-130\" class=\"ezoic-adpicker-ad\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-151\" class=\"ezoic-adpicker-ad\"><\/span>5. Spend Time Outdoors<\/h3>\n<p>Exposing your skin to the natural sunlight allows your body to produce Vitamin D. Vitamin Dincreases the levels of BDNF in your brain \u2013 a protein that stimulates teh growth of new nerves and synapses.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4486\" src=\"http:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/happy-girl-2-e1467346696987.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/happy-girl-2-e1467346696987.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/happy-girl-2-e1467346696987-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/happy-girl-2-e1467346696987-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/happy-girl-2-e1467346696987-449x300.jpg 449w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>6.

Learning a new skill, interacting with others, putting a puzzle together or filling out a crossword puzzle can help keep your brain active.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4487\" src=\"http:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/pieces-of-the-puzzle-592778_1280-e1458067046792.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/pieces-of-the-puzzle-592778_1280-e1458067046792.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/pieces-of-the-puzzle-592778_1280-e1458067046792-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/pieces-of-the-puzzle-592778_1280-e1458067046792-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.loveforhealthyfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/pieces-of-the-puzzle-592778_1280-e1458067046792-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>8. Eat Dark Chocolate<\/h3>\n<p>Like blueberries, dark chocolate contains antioxidants and flavonoids. Snacking on some organic dark chocolate from time to time can help you grow new neurons!<\/p>\n<h3>9. Try Intermittent Fasting<\/h3>\n<p>Some studies have shown that intermittent fasting can significantly reduce the effects of aging on the brain. It has an anti-inflammatory effect on the body and it stimulates the growth of new brain cells.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s no secret that our brains tend to slow down as we age.
