- Caffeine: the caffeine in coffee, chocolate and energy drinks boosts energy and brain function, but only for a short time. The more caffeine you take, the more you need to wake up and concentrate, and you may end up with high blood pressure.
- Sugar: sugar is the fuel your brain runs on, but this means the natural sugars in fruit juice, milk and starches, not table sugar. When your brain needs energy, a glass of orange juice will help it work better. But eat a lot of sugar for a long time and your memory will get weaker.
- Breakfast improves brain function: children who eat breakfast pay better attention and take in and remember information better. The best breakfast foods are cereals, dairy and fruit, but do not overeat in the morning.
- Fish really is brain food: fish provides protein and fats that are good for the brain. It contains omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for brain function, reduce the risk of dementia and stroke, and improve memory, especially in older people. For your heart and your brain, eat fish once a week, but be wary of mercury, which pollutes some fish.
- Nuts and chocolate every day: especially dark chocolate. These foods contain vitamin E, essential to protect the brain from age-related decline, and chocolate contains caffeine, a stimulant.
- Whole grains and avocado: organs, especially the brain and heart, depend on blood flow. Whole grains and avocado help keep cholesterol down and improve blood flow, and so brain function.
In addition, eat food rich in vitamins and minerals and follow a balanced diet without too much salt, table sugar or fried food, which are enemies of the brain.
