An Australian study has found that selenium—a mineral found in many foods—could be the key to a healthier mind, as experiments show that it can reverse the decline in brain function from poor health or old age.

Selenium is a powerful antioxidant found in meat, tuna, halibut, sardines, salmon, organ meat, eggs, and nuts, with the highest levels found in Brazil nuts.
