ALTHOUGH THE AVERAGE BRAIN ONLY WEIGHS 3LBS IT USES 20% OF THE CALORIES WE EAT. TO MAXIMISE THE BENEFITS OF FOOD TO THE BRAIN, THINK ABOUT INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

1. FOODS TO BOOST CONCENTRATION – ANYTHING CONTAINING MEGA-3 OILS. FOR EXAMPLE, OILY FISH, WALNUTS, PUMPKIN SEEDS AND FLAX SEEDS.

2. FOODS TO IMPROVE MOOD – ANYTHING THAT’S RICH IN DOPAMINE OR SEROTONIN. FOR EXAMPLE, BEETS, SOYBEANS, ALMONDS, EGGS, MEAT, GRAINS AND DARK CHOCOLATE.

3. FOODS TO BOOST MEMORY – ANYTHING THAT’S RICH IN ACETYLCHOLINE. FOR EXAMPLE, EGGS, LIVER, SOY BEANS, CAULIFLOWER, BROCCOLI AND CABBAGE.

HOWEVER, STRAWBERRIES, RASPBERRIES, BLUEBERRIES, CHERRIES AND TUMERIC (COMMONLY USED IN CURRIES) ARE BELIEVED TO BE THE BEST FOOD OF ALL FOR THE BRAIN. THEY IMPROVE BRAIN PERFORMANCE AND ENHANCE OUR MEMORY. THUS, SINCE RESEARCH CONFIRMS THAT “YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT” MAKE SURE YOU ARE EATING TO FEED YOUR BRAIN!
