5 best memory boosting foods

#5 Avocados
This healthy monosaturated fat increases blood flow to the brain. That means more oxygen getting to those parts of your brain that help you to think and to remember details.

#4 Apples
Apples could have dementia-fighting qualities. Vitamin C is a known factor in the reduction of Alzheimer's.

#3 Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate reduces inflammation and may help prevent oxidation in the brain, which is the precursor to many neurological diseases.

#2 Green Tea
EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate) protects the brain. It lowers the amount of protein that builds up as plaque linked to memory loss and nerve damage.

#1 Blueberries
Nutrient packed in these berries help reverse-age-related problems in the area of brain function, improve learning, motor skills, and vision.

The amazing story of Dobri Dobrev

Meet 98 years old Dobri Dobrev, a man who lost his hearing in the Second World War. Everyday he walks 10 kilometers for decades from his village in his homemade clothes and leather shoes to the city of Sofia, where he spends the day begging for money.

Though a well known fixture around several of the city's churches, known for his prostrations of thanks to all donors, it was recently discovered that he has donated every penny he has collected -over 40,000 euros- towards the restoration of decaying Bulgarian monasteries and the utility bills of orphanages, living instead off his monthly state pension of 80 euros.
