Reducing inflammation in the body creates an environment conducive to new neuron development, a process known as neurogenesis. Polyphenols found in foods like blueberries and leafy greens protect brain cells from damage. Vitamins B9 and B12 are essential for DNA synthesis and neurotransmitter production, promoting neuronal survival and synaptic plasticity. Folate, the natural form of vitamin B9, is found in real foods but can be destroyed by high heat, while folic acid, a synthetic compound, has health benefits despite its artificial origins. Vitamin B12 stabilizes and repairs neurons by maintaining myelin sheaths and inducing antioxidant activity. Anti-inflammatory foods like berries, leafy greens, fatty fish, and nuts support neurogenesis by reducing inflammation in the body. However, factors such as ultra-processed foods, poor-quality fats, and overconsumption can hinder neurogenesis, leading to diseases linked to metabolic syndrome.
