Blueberries
A study published in the Journal of Neuroscience found that blueberries may improve or delay short-term memory loss. Rich in antioxidants, these berries also help protect the brain from inflammation. Try eating two half-cup servings of blueberries per week to boost your memory, says Rumsey.

The reasons why aren’t exactly clear, but it’s thought that the smell of rosemary can affect electrical activity in the brain. Bring on the taters.
