We used to believed that brain function normally
gets to its optimum during early adulthood after
which there will be a decline, causing lapses in
memory during our golden years.
We can now say categorically that our modern
lifestyle plays a significant role in contributing to the
decline in our memory, which is why exposure to
toxins, chemicals, poor diet, lack of sleep, stress,
and much more can actually hinder the functioning
of your brain. The good side about all this is in the
fact that as bad lifestyle destroys the brain, an
healthy one will make it better. Our brain
regenerates fast on a daily basis and with the right
ingredients this will optimize our functioning.
Lets begin;
Foods That Improve Brain Function
Healthy fats
Yes you saw that right. The majority of your brain is
actually made up of healthy fats which includes the
omega-3 fatty acid and this is the most important
fats there is. So we can safely deduce that if we
want our brains to regenerate optimally they will
need a lot of those healthy fats. Foods that are rich
in omega-3 include canola oil, eggs, walnuts,
salmon fish, soya bean, pecans, almonds, mackerel
fish,oysters,etc.
Vegetables
I know majority of us know the various importance
of eating vegetables. Lets just say this is re-
emphasizing its importance because now you know
it also improves your brain function. Vegetables
contain anti-oxidants that limit the damage to brain
cells including vitamins E, folic acid, etc. Foods
include carrots, various green leaf vegetables,
broccoli, cabbage,etc.
Water
In as much as I told you about the benefits of
drinking water in Why You Should Drink A lot Of
Water Everyday , you should now see that you
mustn’t do without it at all. The body can easily be
starved of water since its made up of mostly water.
So even the body is slightly dehydrated it will affect
brain function.
Fiber
I know a lot of us will not expect this but it is
needed by the brain. The brain functions majorly on
sugar but it must be delivered steadily to it. Fiber
helps in slowing down the absorption of sugar
thereby optimizing the functioning of the brain; no
overloads. Foods rich in fiber include brown rice,
pear, apples, beans, almonds, spinach, dates, etc.
Dark chocolate
This is a dangerous one because of the fear of
abusing it. Dark chocolate contains flavonols which
improve blood vessel function which in turn
improves brain function. Chocolates also contain
some antioxidants and improves mood.
Other tips;
Exercise adequately; this helps your brain
work at optimum.
Stop multitasking your brain it will slow you
down
Always get a good night’s sleep
Challenge your brain; play brain IQ games or
master a new skill
