Top 10 Foods to Eat for a Healthier Mind for Both Yogis and Non-Yogis

1. Nuts:
Nuts, including almonds, are excellent snacks for heart and brain health. A handful of almonds daily is a great source to fuel the body with magnesium, protein, fiber, minerals, antioxidants, and riboflavin. The non-yogis can experiment with roasted almonds for a crunchy salty taste or can top their salads and desserts with it.
2.Apples:
 The intake of fresh ripe fruits like apples, pears, etc., prevents strokes, and bad cholesterol levels, and slows down the aging process. The high fiber and quercetin content are effective against radicals, ursolic, and obesity. Satiate your sweet tooth by adding apples to the smoothies.
3. Avocados:
A powerhouse of essential vitamins A, C, E, and B6–avocados protect our bodies from the risk of developing prostate, breast cancer, and brain from developing clots. Avocados are packed with good monounsaturated fat that checks bad cholesterol levels. They can be used as a substitute for butter for a healthier breakfast and can be added to salads, soups, etc.
4. Beets:
We are fascinated by beets' bright red color and properties. Beetroot, which is high in antioxidants and vitamins, strengthens the immune system, reduces inflammation, increases blood flow to the brain, and ensures that the body produces collagen for healthy nails and hair. Juice it with an apple and a carrot for a nutritious midday snack. Non-yogis can be seasoned to taste with salt and pepper.
5. Quinoa :
Quinoa is a complete protein, wheat-free alternative to starchy grains. It contains all nine essential amino acids nourishing the entire body and mind. Non-yogis can add a delectable twist to plain quinoa by making spicy quinoa pancakes, delicious quinoa chickpea burgers, or even adding to desserts.

6. Spinach:

 Good memories of spinach are closely associated with Popeye, the famous Sailor cartoon character. Spinach is high in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other nutrients that help with eye health. Yogis can consume spinach in the form of salads or juices, while non-yogis can eat it as crispy vegetables and other delicacies.
7. Blueberries:

 Blueberries are low-calorie snacks high in antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, and phytochemicals, which help to control stress, prevent mental degeneration, and keep the body functioning optimally. Add these to salads, and smoothies, or make delicious oatmeal for breakfast.

8. Broccoli:

 Include cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, kale, and cauliflower in your diet plan. These vegetables contain folic acid and vitamins, which act as effective weapons against cancer cells, memory loss, and diabetes. Choose creamy broccoli soup, raw broccoli salads, or Asian cuisines, which frequently use broccoli as a main ingredient and may convert you into a broccoli fan.
9. Walnuts: 

Very popular and flourishing in temperate climates, walnuts contain omega-3 fatty acids that can help improve mood, fight cancer, and lower cholesterol. Walnuts are a decadent ingredient in cakes and other desserts.
10. Lemons:

 Lemons, which are high in Vitamin C, are popular among many people for preventing colds and maintaining the health of their bones, muscles, and joints. Starting the day with a glass of water infused with lime juice boosts overall health. Lemon tea and juices are both healthy options.
