Food for your Ears.

I'd like to start of to say that I'm inspired by a university friend who has just (12 FEB 2014) published a new book - Lite Malaysian Favourites by Goo Chui Hoong. She has also written another book entitled Food for your Eyes which co-authored with her husband who is an eye specialist. Am proud of her achievements and am taking a step to look into foods for better hearing. 
Here are some suggestions on food which may help you maintain good hearing.

• Kale: this trendy new superfood is unnoticeable in a smoothie, and adds antioxidants to the mix.
• Yogurt: contains potassiumand magnesium, which has been linked to prevent noise-induced hearing loss by eliminating free radicals caused by loud noises. Free radicals are unstable atoms that are highly reactive and do damage to the body.
• Bananas: rich inmagnesium and also potassium, which is essential in maintaining your body fluids, particularly the fluid in your inner ear.
• Mango: a tasty way to get a dose of over 20 vitamins and minerals in a single fruit.
• Reinforce the nutrients in your smoothie with a bowl of fortified breakfast cereal or a slice of toast to retrieve the necessary folic acid your hearing needs. Folic acids are essential in your body’s new cell growth and have been linked to sudden sensorineural hearing loss in adults.
