No matter the kind of week you have ahead, these foods are certain to boost your brain power so you can get things done, and knock your to-do's out of the ballpark. Eat (and drink) up!
Cranberry Juice
Can help you focus, ward off Alzheimer’s, and reduce brain damage. Drinking cranberry juice every day, whether as a cocktail, or fresh-squeezed can help with pH balance as well. Try to only consume a glass or two per day because juices from concentrate contain a lot of unnecessary sugar.
Dark Chocolate
A bar a day keeps forgetfulness away. Dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants which fight off free radicals in the body. To get the full effect I recommend eating a piece of dark chocolate fifteen minutes before an exam or other focus-oriented task in order to have just enough of a boost to get you by.
Blueberries
A cup of fresh blueberries everyday has been shown to improve cognitive function and memory. Protect your brain from stress and toss a few berries in your morning parfait.
Salmon
Good fat, anyone? Salmon is packed with omega-3-fatty acids, so having 4 ounces twice a week should fulfill your bodies omega-3 needs.
Avocado
Just like blueberries, avocados promote good cognitive function and memory, with the added bonus of lowering blood pressure.
Broccoli
Vitamin K and good brain function go hand in hand. So eats lots of broccoli to avoid Alzheimer's later in life.
Brown Rice
Whole grains are little energy reservoirs. Eat whole grains at breakfast and lunch to keep a steady flow of energy to the brain.
