One of the things that can also help
and kill your brain are your diets, the foods
you eat. The listed and explained are foods
that helps your brain. Get orientated.
- Caffeine
There's no magic bullet to boost IQ or make
you smarter -- but certain substances, like
caffeine, can energize you and help you
concentrate. Found in coffee, chocolate,
energy drinks, and some medications, caffeine
gives you that unmistakable wake-up buzz,
though the effects are short-term. And more is
often less: Overdo it on caffeine and it can
make you jittery and uncomfortable.
- Sugar
Sugar is your brain's preferred fuel source --
not table sugar, but glucose, which your body
processes from the sugars and carbs you eat.
That's why a glass of something sweet to
drink can offer a short-term boost to memory,
thinking, and mental ability.
Have too much, though, and memory can be
impaired -- along with the rest of you. Go
easy on the sugar so it can enhance memory
without packing on the pounds.
- Fish
A protein source linked to a great brain boost
is fish -- rich in omega-3 fatty acids that are
key for brain health. These healthy fats have
amazing brain power: A diet with higher levels
of them has been linked to lower dementia and
stroke risks and slower mental decline; plus,
they may play a vital role in enhancing
memory, especially as we get older.
For brain and heart health, eat two servings of
fish weekly.
- Nuts and Chocolate
Nuts and seeds are good sources of the
antioxidant vitamin E, which is linked to less
cognitive decline as you age. Dark chocolate
also has other powerful antioxidant properties,
and it contains natural stimulants like
caffeine, which can enhance focus.
Enjoy up to an ounce a day of nuts and dark
chocolate to get all the benefits you need
without excess calories, fat, or sugar.
- Avocados and Whole Grains
Every organ in the body depends on blood
flow, especially the heart and brain. A diet
high in whole grains and fruits like avocados
can cut the risk of heart disease and lower bad
cholesterol. This reduces your risk of plaque
buildup and enhances blood flow, offering a
simple, tasty way to fire up brain cells.
Whole grains, like popcorn and whole wheat,
also contribute dietary fiber and vitamin E.
Though avocados have fat, it's the good-for-
you, monounsaturated fat that helps with
healthy blood flow.
- Blueberries
Research in animals shows that blueberries
may help protect the brain from the damage
caused by free radicals and may reduce the
effects of age-related conditions such as
Alzheimer's disease or dementia. Studies also
show that diets rich in blueberries improved
both the learning and muscle function of
aging rats, making them mentally equal to
much younger rats.
