Some people are very much particular with their physical look nowadays. Going to the gym, wearing nice clothes and all sorts are the ways we can improve our appearance. But let’s face it we also need to nourish our brains so that we can have good mood and mental alertness. Here are some food that can make you smart.
Blueberries
If you are trying to determine which berry to toss in your protein smoothie for flavor, don’t give blueberries a second thought. Blueberries are the No. 1 choice for providing antioxidants and preventing the brain from experiencing oxidative stress. And whether they’re fresh, frozen or freeze-dried, you’ll still be doing yourself a favor by including this food for optimal brain health into your daily diet.
Raisins
Raisins are good for your brain because they are an excellent source of boron, a trace element that improves hand-eye coordination, attention and memory. Other good sources of boron include hazelnuts, almonds and dried apricots.
Sugar
Coffee is most commonly reached for when it comes to optimizing mental energy and concentration, but do you normally forgo the sugar in favor of a non-caloric sweetener? If yes, you may want to rethink that. While you should definitely be watching the sugar content in your diet, a small amount in your coffee can actually serve to increase the benefits you get from caffeine and increase mental alertness far greater than caffeine alone.
