Nobody wants a stroke. Strokes destroy parts of the brain and the functions that go with it. They can also happen at an early age.

The thought of the possibility of a stroke is actually quite terrifying. Strokes damage your brain. In addition, the Journal of the American Medical Association reported that one or two small strokes in strategic parts of the brain increase your chances of Alzheimer’s-type dementia 20 times over!

One anti-stroke secret is simple: eat fruits, vegetables, and drink tea.

However, there is a lot more you can do. Here are 19 brain foods that help your brain escape strokes:

> Spinach

> Beets

> Molasses

> Tomato juice

> Orange juice

> Cantaloupe

> Acorn squash

> Dried apricots

> Sweet potato

> Carrots

> Lima beans

> Skimmed milk

> Avocado

> Banana

> Almonds

> Soy beans

> Baked potato

> Baked beans

> Sardines

As a family, we try to eat lots of these foods every week. Keeping your brain healthy is one of the best investments you can make in yourself and the people you love.

Congratulations on learning something about your brain today. The Brain Bulletin is committed to help you do just that.

Always remember: “You are a genius!”

Enjoy your brain.

When Technology Scales Faster Than Judgment: The Leadership Gap Few Organisations Prepare For

In most organisations, capability has always grown faster than wisdom. What has changed is not the existence of the gap, but its speed and reach. Systems no longer wait politely for explicit direction. They observe, infer, and act across environments that once depended on layers of human review. Leadership today is not struggling with complexity alone. It is struggling with velocity. Decisions now unfold continuously. Often quietly. Sometimes invisibly. And long before leaders have time to reflect on whether the organisation is prepared to own the outcomes.
