Eat this, not that, try this diet, do these exercises and use this cream. We are constantly being bombarded with ways to get in shape and become healthier and more attractive and some of them are good, but do we ever think about feeding our brains? After all it is a part of our body, just part you don't see.
Well if you are interested in working out your brain, then feed it. I'm hearing that Scott's fertilizer guy in my head "Feed It". I used to buy body building magazines when I was younger to get a good idea of what I wanted to look like. Now I suppose I should look a pictures of Einstein to remind me to feed my brain.
The good news is, that there is nothing new to remember or do. These foods are already good for you and may be some of your favorites. They can help you maintain a healthy bodyweight, but actually, honestly, make you smarter:
- Tuna -- Tuna has the highest amount of B6 vitamins of all foods. B6 helps you keep your brain functioning its at peak performance, improves your memory and enhances cognitive abilities.
- Coffee -- Coffee gets a bad rap, but it has the most antioxidants among any food in the average American's diet and it also gives your brain a real energy boost.
- Pomegranate -- The pomegranate contains a high amount of various antioxidants, some of which protect your brain and its functions.
- Dark Chocolate -- Again, the antioxidants in dark chocolate are powerful, protecting the brain, giving your brain an energy boost, improving your focus and enhancing you mood.
- Salmon -- While the Omega-3 fatty acids in salmon may not make you "smarter," they do protect you against brain and psychological problems.
