Brain Food to
Double Your Brain Power!

Here is a list of my Top Five Brain Food, which could possibly

double your brain power!

Omega-3 Oils

Perhaps the number one Brain Food for brain health, the case for

Omega-3 oils is overwhelming. Omega-3 oils, (or Omega-3 Fatty

Acids) are essential fatty acids necessary for human health.

They are termed "essential" because they cannot be produced by

the body, and so must be obtained from the diet. Omega-3 oils

are beneficial because they provide fluidity to cell membranes

and improve communication between brain cells. They may help to

boost learning power, but also greatly enhance mood. Foods rich

in omega-3 oils include oily fish such as sardines, salmon and

mackerel. Maybe fish is a “brain food” after all!

Vegetables and Legumes

Unlike processed flour which contains simple carbohydrates,

vegetables and legumes contain complex carbohydrates which can

supply your brain with a steady source of energy. These include

soybeans, kidney beans, chick peas, and lentils.

Soya

Soya contains natural plant Oestrogens called Isoflavones.

They are thought to act on oestrogen receptors in the human

brain, particularly those in the hippocampus, which we know is a

crucial area for memory. As a result, new nerve connections may

form more readily.

Medical trials have shown that persons fed a high Soya diet

showed improvements in verbal and non-verbal memory and in

mental flexibility. Good sources of Soya include Soya milk and

Tofu.

Berries

Fruit such as Blueberries, Blackberries, Cranberries, Strawberries

and Raspberries contain anti-oxidants, helping to rid the body of

harmful free radicals produced during body cells converting oxygen

into energy.

Scientific Studies have shown that a good dietary intake of

antioxidants from fruits and vegetables will significantly reduce

the risk of developing “Cognitive Impairment”.

Chocolate

Good news for all chocolate lovers!

Studies have hinted that eating milk chocolate may boost brain

function. Substances, like Theobromine, Phenethylamine and

Caffeine, present in milk chocolate, can act as stimulants that

may lead to increased mental performance.
