Diet Comments Off on Feed your brain with these 5 food groups – Fox News

Honeybrains, a new restaurant in New York City, is giving a whole new meaning to brain food. The fast-casual eatery offers only nutrient-packed meals, specifically made to boost your brain health.

Its co-owned by neurologist Dr. Alon Seifan, whose private practice in Hollywood, Florida, specializes in aging and dementia. There are three things that food does to improve our body and brain health, Seifan said.

One, good food can improve metabolism, number two, good food can improve our circulation, and number three, good food can improve the balance of nutrients and inflammation in our body, Dr. Alon Seifan told Fox News.

5 TRENDY HEALTH FOODS THAT AREN'T WORTH YOUR MONEY

Seifan, along with his siblings, and business partner Christophe Jadot, set out to open a health-conscious restaurant that took principles from eating methods found in the Blue Zones around the world, like the Mediterranean diet. People in Blue Zones tend to live longer and healthier lives than the average person.

A recent study published inthe journal Neurology found that older adults who closely followed a Mediterranean-like diet were less likely to lose brain volume as they aged, compared with those who didn't follow the diet.

They all have the same thing in common. It's five food groups its the fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains and healthy fats, Seifan said. So we have an entire menu based on those five food groups, any combination of those is both delicious and good for us.

7 WRINKLE-FIGHTING FOODS PROBABLY ALREADY IN YOUR KITCHEN

Chef Kevin Chun, Honeybrains executive chef and chief culinary officer, created a menu that garnishes those five food groups with herbs, spices, fermented foods and natural sweeteners from nature.

"Our main spice blend incorporates a couple of different paprikas, garlic, cumin, coriander seeds, a lot of spices that you might find in Mediterranean flavors, Chun told Fox News.

Youll also find dishes full of super foods like nuts, avocados, leafy greens. and of course honey, which is full of antioxidants.

"Antioxidants improve our circulation, and they improve the stability of the cell membranes in our eyes andour brain," Seifan said.
