We all kind of know what is the healthy diet for the body, but not for the brain. So I searched for a friendly doctor, and sure enough, found a nice diet for the brain. The cool thing about this diet: it is also very tasty. So please enjoy.
- One or two cups of coffee per day. We often drink more and suffer from withdrawal symptoms.
- Whole wheat or whole rice for concentration. Can come with every meal.
- Fruit for memory. Glucose helps – and fruits are a good way to get it.
- Salmon for Omega 3. Actually, almost any cold-water fish will do. For some other cool options, please click here.
- Tomatoes and a glass of red wine for antioxidants. Many other fruits and vegetables will do. Antioxidants fight fatigue and aging symptoms.
- Broccoli and beans for B-vitamins. Mainly B6 and B12. Supplements will work too. The older we are the more of B12 and folic acid we need.
- Do not skip breakfast, but do skip late night snack. Typically 4 meals a day are recommended. If your sugar level drops, your performance drops too.
This is a very simple list. Many diets add sage, nuts, olives. Chocolate is controversial, use small servings of dark chocolate if you like. Finally, add avocado, oil, and seeds to your salads.
A healthy diet is balanced. Do make sure that the food is both healthy and tasty.
