Everything we eat has an effect on our bodies. Our nutrition intake improves a variety of bodily functions, including cardiovascular health and cognitive function. To prevent cognitive decline as we age, our brains require proper care as well.
Anjali Mukerjee, a nutritionist, recently shared a post on Instagram about foods that improve memory and concentration and are linked to higher brainpower.
“The foods we eat can have a big impact on the structure and health of our brains. So eating a brain-boosting diet can support both short and long-term brain functions and improve mental tasks, such as memory and concentration,” the nutritionist wrote.
She advised eating foods high in lecithin, a nutrient that is a fat mixture essential for the brain. Lecithin is found in foods such as whole wheat, egg yolks, nuts, and soybeans. The nutritionist also suggested eating foods high in choline, such as fruits.
“Incorporate brain-boosting nutrients like lecithin (found in whole wheat, egg yolks and nuts) and choline (found in various fruits like avocados, oranges, whole grains, and dairy products) into your diet to maintain a healthy nervous system and improve memory,” Anjali Mukerjee wrote.
She added that adding herbs to the diet can help improve brain functions. “Herbs like ginkgo, ginseng, and ayurvedic herbs like Brahmi and Shanka Pushpi can help reduce memory loss and improve mental functioning,” she wrote.
The most important activity to ensure better brain health is sleep. Anjali adds that to ensure a good night’s sleep, drink chamomile tea. “Relax and calm the mind with chamomile tea, which can help you sleep better and feel more rested,” she wrote.
