Feed Your Brain!
Do you ever find yourself in the middle of a thought and suddenly it’s gone? Or maybe in the middle of the afternoon your mind begins to wander? Your brain may be trying to tell you something.
Your brain needs fuel just like the rest of your body. Since the brain cannot store glucose, it needs a continuous source of fuel from foods. Start with a nutritious breakfast and continue with healthy meals and snacks through the day.
Foods like fatty fish show a positive benefit to short-term memory according to a Finnish research study. Phytochemical-rich foods such as blueberries and red grapes have been shown to be effective at reversing age-related deficits in memory in both animals and humans, according to the journal Free Radical Biology and Medicine.
Be sure your first meal of the day includes at least one serving of dairy foods, whole grains and fruit. Try mixing fruit in yogurt or cottage cheese for a snack. Consume fatty fish two times a week.
