Brain food
Eat the right foods and your brain power will automatically increase.
If it were only that easy.
There are no foods that will make you a genius. But certain foods help the brain function better.
Fish is an excellent source of high quality protein, and a wide variety of vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A and D, phosphorus, magnesium, selenium, and iodine. But fish, especially cold-water fish, is more than just a good alternative source for these?fish oils are the richest source of certain fatty acids vital for good health and cannot be manufactured by the body. Omega-3 fat is an essential fat, because you only get it through the foods you eat.
The long-chain omega 3 fatty acid, the same oil said to fight heart disease, helps protect the brain and has direct beneficial effect on brain chemistry, development, and functioning.
Good sources of omega 3 fatty acids include salmon, herring, tuna, sardine, anchovy, mackerel, and bluefish. If you¡¯re a vegetarian, use flaxseed oil.
