Curried Butternut Squash with Chickpeas

Adding foods to your diet that contain antioxidants and B vitamins can potentially lower the risk of cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's because antioxidants reduce inflammation and promote healthy blood flow. Butternut squash is a great source of antioxidants and B vitamins. Chickpeas boost brain health by providing choline for memory, magnesium for nerve signals, and B vitamins (like folate) for mood and neurotransmitter production, all supporting cognitive function, focus, and mental well-being. The fiber in this dish also promotes a healthy gut, which is linked to better brain function.
