Juice and drink one to two beets, adding fresh apple juice to taste. Beetroot juice is one of the richest dietary sources of antioxidants and nitrates that may improve blood pressure and blood flow throughout the body, including the brain, heart, muscles, and more.

Green Juices

Green Juice
Chlorophyll, the green pigment in plants, helps oxygenate the blood, creating increased brain function and physical energy. Example recipe could be 1 large cucumber, 8 celery stalks, 1 handful kale, 1 handful spinach, 1 handful parsley, 1/4 lemon and 1 piece ginger.

Pomegranate Juice

Pomegranate-Juice
It’s high in sugar and calories, but delivers an abundant dose of antioxidants. These substances appear to protect brain function and may ward off cancer. You will need 1 whole pomegranate and even if the juice is a little tart avoid adding sugar like so many recipes say.

Cranberry Juice

Acai Berry Juice

Acai pulp appears to have a higher concentration of antioxidants than cranberries, blackberries, strawberries, or blueberries. Acai berries are often turned into pulp, made into powder, or turned into concentrated liquid form before being transported. You can usually find most of these things in any health food store.

Red Grape Juice

Red grape juice contains potent antioxiodants — flavanoids and resveratrol. The key is that wine and juice are made with the entire grape — seeds, skin, and all.
