Are you What you Eat?...You are :)

Hey, I just wonder if all of you ever think of eating something great that will boost up your memory, help in your brain function and also keeping your mind young(sadly not the appearance). Researches revealed that the food you eat directly affects your brain performance. Brain food is featured on the menu today to boost your brain power.

First on the list is (my favourite) Chocolate!! It boosts brain power, rich in ‘flavanols’ that boost blood flow to key areas of the brain around 2 to 3 hours after consumption. Chocolate gives powerful short-term boost for brain= good for anyone aiming to get through exams!!! So guys, grab cheap choco in Lidl or Sainsbury or Tesco during Exam and you going to do fine!!



2nd= Fruits which are rich in antioxidants. Tasting better and sweeter than vegetables! Brain-boosting fruit are blueberries, blackberries, cranberries, strawberries, raspberries, plums, avocados, red grapes, cherries and kiwi fruit. Well, it is time to get fruity and juicy!



3rd- Fish..not fishy tales..but Fish is really good for brain since it contains lots of omega-3 fatty acids and fish oils. It is the ultimate brain food. Basically, oily fish are the best!! (like salmon, sardines, trout, tuna, herring, mackerel and anchovies).




Vegetables – anyone?? Hmm..most people don’t like it but they are really good for boosting the brain due to great antioxidants content, which are needed to help the body functioning at optimum levels. Ddark, leafy vegetables like spinach, sprouts, broccoli, and cauliflower are the best J



Drinking Water — Remember that around 80% of the brain is made up of water.Drink at least 2 litres of water a day to keep yourself fill with fluid and ‘watery’.
So, all that should provide you with plenty of food for thought and help you get your brain working to optimum levels. The adage ‘You are what you eat’ never rings truer when it comes to boosting your brainpower. Eat well, and you’ll think well!
