Which ones are good for brain healing, and which ones should be avoided?

Would be really happy if there is a good list or maybe another thread. I cant do the research on my own, as it would be way too exhausting at the moment.

My doc told me to follow an anti inflammatory diet. Googling that is doable I think. I stay away from the nightshade family...Tomatoes, Potatoes, Eggplant, Peppers and Tobacco.

Best way was to google anti inflammatory foods and then select pictures.

I just wanted to come back to this thread quickly to share the following link. This site has the best overview. I hope it helps someone.

There's no reason why people shouldn't be eating bananas. They're high in Tryptophan which is what a lot of us need. There are a lot of things on that diet that I wouldn't agree with but... everyone is different.

Try looking for tryptophan rich foods. Good for anxiety too.

The Posture Guy's diet conflicts with other suggested anti-inflammatory diets. He also appears to promote organic and free range/pasture fed only. It looks like a very expensive diet.

Dr Weil's food pyramid is found here.

Google 'anti-inflammatory diet' and you will find lots of ideas.

The problem with bananas is the sugar content. An average banana weighs 100 to 130 g. 100g contain 17g fruit sugar. That is one of the highest levels in fruits.

Hi griffin,
I have a great book called "Foods that fight pain" by Neal Barnard, MD. It is older, written in 1998 . It is organized first by various illnesses and what to eat and not eat, for examples migraines or chest pains(angina). He recommends starting with a very basic elimination diet and slowing adding things back in to see how they affect you. The end of the book is recipes and meal plans. One of my favs is steamed yams mashed with crushed pineapple...nothing else...it is delicious...I eat it all the time.

This is not exactly what you asked for but the dietary suggestions that help with circulatory issues or headaches may help brain issues.

Be well,
Diandra
