A member asked:
How many calories does a 86 year old lady need. is there any particular foods should eat like oily fish for the brain, milk for the bones etc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oily or not oily..: ...the notion that fish is a good brain food is a myth. It's one of those old wives' tales that refuse to die. Any food that's good for the brain is good for the entire body.
