Have you ever walked into a room and forgotten what you went in there for?
But my forgetfulness is actually a good reminder to focus more attention on my cognitive health.
This weeks dinners are all based on theMIND diet, which stands for Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay.

Here its paired withasparagus, red onion and a balsamic glaze for an easy sheet-pan dinner.
Serve with whole-grain bread.
Tuna, in particular, offers vitamin D andcholine, both of which can help prevent cognitive decline.

Microwaveable brown rice is an easy whole-grain base for the fish and veg.
The combination ofartichoke hearts, spinach and peas is packed with vitamins and fiber.
After dinner, snack on somestrawberries, which have brain-supporting antioxidants.
The salad components are tossed together with a tangy orange-Dijon dressing.
Serve some rotisserie chicken alongside.
Just whisk up some eggs and throw in whatever odds and ends you have in the fridge.

I like to serve it with arugula, dressed with whatever vinaigrette Ive got in the fridge.
All the veggies mean this dinner has tons of brain-health-supporting vitamins.
I wish you all a great week, and I hope you enjoy this dinner plan.
