Best Foods for Brain Health

We have always known that what we eat affects our bodies. That means that everything we eat takes a toll on our brains. At our Las Vegas neurology clinic, we emphasize that brain foods matter! Do you know the top foods for brain health? Food rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals provide energy and aid in protecting against brain diseases. In addition, hormones from our stomach influence cognitive ability like understanding and processing new information. Being properly fed helps us stay focused on the task at hand and recognize when we’re full. When we focus on feeding our bodies whole, nutritious foods, we’re benefiting both our minds and bodies. Our Las Vegas neurologist Dr. Milford has compiled a list of foods for brain health that we should all have in our diets. Read on to learn 25 of the best foods for brain health!

Silver State Neurology started small, subleasing in another office for half a day at a time. The patient intake eventually increased to a point where our Las Vegas neurology office was open several days a week. We finally got our own space, where we stayed for 5 years. However, we outgrew this space and built the building we are in. We are very excited to be in the process of extending our practice to another building behind our current building. We are proud to provide neurology care in Las Vegas to even more people who need it.

About Dr. Milford

Our neurologist, Dr. Christopher Milford, has been practicing neurology in Las Vegas for 14 years. He specializes in treating, diagnosing, and managing disorders of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. He provides neurology treatment in Las Vegas for stroke, dementia, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, carpal tunnel syndrome, and others. He also treats Las Vegas neurology patients for symptoms such as headache, neck pain, low back pain, dizziness, numbness, and tingling. Dr. Milford is originally from Kansas and did most of his medical training at the University of Kansas, including attending medical school, his residency, and fellowship. Nonetheless, he is intrigued by Las Vegas. He has fallen in love with the city and the community here.

Dr. Milford is dedicated to providing quality neurological care in Las Vegas. His path to become a neurologist in Las Vegas started with the influence of his father, who was an oral surgeon. He knew from an early age that he wanted to eventually become a doctor. His interest in the field of neurology developed in college after reading a book about a man who was becoming demented. This book was “The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat” by neurologist Oliver Sacks. He was fascinated by the fact that everything about who people are is determined by the brain. This continues to fascinate him to this day.

Silver State Neurology’s wonderful Las Vegas neurologist is so passionate about neurological care that he did an extra two years of fellowship training on top of his residence training in neurology. Dr. Milford also completed one year of training in clinical neurophysiology along with one year of neurocritical care and stroke training. He is the only neurologist in Las Vegas with this training. Although he practices general neurology medicine, he has an expertise in EMG, EEG, epilepsy, neuromuscular disease, and neurocritical care. Dr. Milford is also board-certified in neuroradiology, allowing him to provide his patients with the highest quality of care right in the Silver State Neurology clinic.
