Research has shown that our brains tend to shrivel as we age, but eggs and tuna be the key to less shrinkage.

Dallas, Texas (CaymanMama.com) — Thinking of new ways to keep your brain younger, sharper and stronger as the aging process takes its toll on the rest of the body? Think no more, as eggs and tuna are the keys to keeping the brain strong for years to come.

Research has shown that our brains tend to shrivel as we age, but eggs and tuna be the key to less shrinkage. Why? Simply put, both tuna and eggs are terrific sources of vitamin B12, an essential vitamin that may help keep brain atrophy at bay.

During a recent study, research found subjects in their 60s and older who were low — but not deficient — on B12 were three to six times more likely to have brain atrophy than those on the higher end of the normal B12 range.

Ensure that you are getting adequate amounts of B12 by either taking a supplement or eating B12-rich foods — such as eggs and tuna.
