It is worthy of note that some foods and dietary supplements can do a lot to sharpen focus, enhance memory, attention span, and brain function.
There’s no denying that as we grow, our body ages right along with us but you can improve your chances of maintaining a healthy brain if you add “smart” foods and drinks to your diet.
The following tips can help greatly in enhancing your brain
Sugar can enhance alertness
Sugar is your brain’s preferred fuel source, not table sugar, but glucose, which your body processes from the sugars and carbohydrates you eat. That’s why a glass of something sweet to drink can offer a short-term boost to memory, thinking, and mental ability. It must be taken in moderation though.
Eat breakfast to fuel your brain
Studies have found that eating breakfast may improve short-term memory and attention. Students who eat it tend to perform better than those who don’t. Foods at the top of researchers’ brain-fuel list include high-fiber whole grains, dairy, and fruits but don’t overeat.
Fish really is brain food
A protein source linked to a great brain boost is fish, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids that are keys for brain health. These healthy fats have amazing brain power: A diet with higher levels of fish will lower mental decline and may play a vital role in enhancing memory, especially as we get older.
Add a daily dose of nuts and chocolate
Nuts and seeds are good sources of the antioxidant vitamin E, which has been linked in some studies to less cognitive decline as you grow. 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 with a minimum of excess calories, fat, or sugar.
In addition to all these if you want to power up your ability to concentrate, start with a meal of 100% fruit juice and a well-balanced meal, but get a good night’s sleep, stay hydrated, exercise to help sharpen thinking and meditate to clear thinking and relax.
