Top 5 Brain Power Boosting Foods, You Should Know About

#1: BROCCOLI

 It's no coincidence that more than 300 research studies on broccoli have converged in one unique area of health science—the development of cancer—and its relationship to three metabolic problems in the body. Those three problems are (1) chronic inflammation (2) oxidative stress, and (3) inadequate detoxification. While these types of problems have yet to become part of the public health spotlight, they are essential to understanding broccoli's unique health benefits. Over the past 5 years, research has made it clear that our risk of cancer in several different organ systems is related to the combination of these three problems.

Vitamin K is a great way of enhancing the cognitive function of your brain and improve brain power.
Remember, healthy eating is healthy living and a healthy mind is a healthy body.

#2: WHOLE GRAINS

 

 Eating whole grains instead of refined grains lowers the risk of many chronic diseases. While benefits are most pronounced for those consuming at least 3 servings daily, some studies show reduced risks from as little as one serving daily. The message: every whole grain in your diet helps!

#3: SALMON FISH

 

 Along with its many vitamins and high protein content, salmon is an excellent source of selenium, a mineral is that works as an antioxidant in the body. It is associated with decreased risk of joint inflammation, keeps the immune system and thyroid working well, and can help to keep tissues healthy by preventing cell damage.

 

#4: WALNUTS

It is the famous wrinkly dry fruit, which ironically resembles the human brain; the walnut. It is rich in vitamin E, which is an antioxidant that is associated with a lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
“Researchers at Chicago’s Rush University Medical Center have studied the lifestyle habits of 6,000 people who were unaffected by the memory-robbing condition and found that those who ate the most vitamin E-rich foods had a reduced Alzheimer’s risk. Vitamin E may trap free radicals that can damage brain cells”, explains the Alzheimer’s Research Center.


#5: WATER

 

Research shows that a large amount of the population avoids the necessary quantity of water intake and an even larger number of people do not drink water at all. Instead, they quench their thirst with other substitutes.
However, water ranks number one in all food items or nutrition. If you remain dehydrated there are chances of you getting headaches and feeling dizzy. This in turn causes a blockage to good thinking which can lead to stress.
Remember to drink at least 8 cups of water daily. This will activate your neurons and keep your mind fresh and calm.
