You\u2019re not just thinking with the brain in your head.

That\u2019s why when you eat junk, you don\u2019t just feel heavy, but you feel cranky, foggy, or tired. Crazy, right? It\u2019s like your stomach is secretly holding the remote control for your mood and focus.

What you eat is how your body and brain will function. Ever noticed how your body and brain go in a slump after eating junk food? It&#8217;s because the nutritional value of the food that you ate was low for your body and brain to function adequately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You must have heard from your parents to eat properly, ever wondered why? And why don&#8217;t they let you go out without breakfast?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research by Mergenthaler et al., 2013 shows the brain relies on glucose for energy. That&#8217;s why skipping breakfast and meals is linked to poor memory and slow reaction time, and difficulty in concentrating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Protein-rich and healthy food is also beneficial for stress release. For example, berries and green leafy vegetables have antioxidants in food reducing oxidative stress, which is linked to memory decline and brain ageing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whereas studies conducted by joseph et al., 2009\u00a0 shows diet high in antioxidants improve learning and memory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deficiencies in vitamins like B12, folate, and iron are strongly linked to fatigue and even depression. The gut-brain connection means that what we eat directly impacts mood and concentration <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2019, found that diets that are rich in whole foods like protein, vitamins and nutrients have a high academic performance and reduced exam stress in students<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every food you eat in your early stages of life is the building block of your brain cells for the future. If the blocks are built with junk and fast food, they will deteriorate as fast as you eat them, but the healthy and nutritious food will act as a pillar in your life\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_food_to_Boost_Brain_Power\"><\/span>Best food to Boost Brain Power<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A student who is in the middle of his exams and wants to score well will want to study for more hours but will that be beneficial if he just sits in one place without eating or drinking or skipping his important meals which will help him boost his scores?<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking breaks becomes as important as eating healthy. Your body needs time and nutrition to recover and what should that food be to Boost Brain Power?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nuts_and_seeds\"><\/span>Nuts and seeds<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They say that almonds\u00a0 help in increasing the memory. Is it really so? Well the answer to that is yes. You want to know why? Because it contains Vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids which not only help protect brain cells, improve memory and also keep your thinking sharp.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other than almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seed and flaxseeds also do the same wonder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consistently incorporating an essential amount of such nuts and seeds will increase the functioning of the brain, yielding you much better results in your academics and life overall. Better brain health means better energy throughout the day and a happy mood<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Fruits\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Fruits<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Very often we almost dismiss the fruits from our diet, thinking of it as just another snack we use for our taste buds. Let me tell you, fruits are as effective as nuts and seeds for your brain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amla and Blueberries are packed with antioxidants. These antioxidants protect memory. Not only that, these protect brains from getting damaged, it also helps support norepinephrine, an essential neurotransmitter in the brain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another fruit packed with goodness is oranges. It has a boost of vitamin C which fights brain fatigue, an important function when studying maths, trust me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eating Apples and Grapes provide a relief to your sugar craving and provide steady energy. They are packed with antioxidant properties, protecting the brain from stress.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Vegies\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3.

A crucial function important for students and professions to excel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Include spinach and broccoli, the boring green vegetables, but the catch is they are rich in vitamin K and folate which improve focus and learning.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Dark_chocolate\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Dark chocolate\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am not talking about your normal chocolate which has more that 80% of sugar in it but chocolates with 70% of coco in it. That contains flavonoids and a little caffeine that keep you focused.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can have a small piece of chocolate before going to the exam, it gives an instant boost to not only your cognitive function but also your mood. An important aspect in a tensed filled zone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have covered the food items that you should eat to overall increase the brain functioning. Let&#8217;s tackle the specific brain functioning and discuss specific food items to get the brain equivalent of achieving anything.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Memory\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Memory<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s say you want to increase your memory capacity. But is it really possible? <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The universal answer to that is no you can\u2019t. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what you can increase is your retaining power. But how can that be done? <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Revising your chapters? yes. Sleeping well? yes to that as well. But most importantly eating good food.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another question arises: what actually is good food? Here is your answer:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leafy greens such as spinach, broccoli, kale as they are rich in vitamins k, lutein and folate. They provide nutrients that improve brain cell communication and strengthen long term memory.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also have dairy products like milk, curd and paneer. And if you are non- vegetarian you can go for fatty fish like salmon and sardines which are loaded with omega 3.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To add in some more variety you\u00a0 can add dark chocolate to this list.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mental_Stamina\"><\/span>Mental Stamina<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You must have seen after a while of reading or writing you feel tired and your head starts spinning and tells you to close the books but why is that? ever wondered? It&#8217;s called mental fatigue.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is because of the excessive overload of studying. Staying in one place and not moving, and not having enough water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caffeine overload is another issue that you guys face while studying, and obviously skipping meals is another reason for it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to increase your mental stamina?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have whole grain like oats, brown rice, and whole wheat<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add fruits to your daily diet as they provide essential vitamins such as Banana for vitamins B6 and hydrating foods such as melon, cucumber and coconut water.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bonus_tips_to_Boost_Brain_Power\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bonus tips to Boost Brain Power<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s not always about what and how you eat but sometimes it&#8217;s about when you eat it. Let&#8217;s say you don&#8217;t have a fixed time to eat your breakfast or you don&#8217;t have a fixed time to sleep; in both the cases you harm your body more than fixing it by eating healthy.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It becomes necessary for a person to eat and sleep at a fixed time because it helps maintain the circadian rhythm. What will happen if you don\u2019t care about your circadian rhythm you say? Not maintaining it will lead to heart disease, memory depletion, energy loss, fatigue and sleepless nights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0This can be maintained through various ways such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hydrating\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hydrating\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having an adequate amount of water in regular intervals will help in regulating body temperature levels and also aids in digestion and helps in oxygen and nutrition transport.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Balancing_caffeine\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Balancing caffeine\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caffeine can sharpen alertness, but excess intake can disturb sleep and increase anxiety. Stick to 1\u20132 cups of coffee\/tea a day and avoid it late in the evening.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avoiding_high-sugar_and_processed_foods\"><\/span>Avoiding high-sugar and processed foods<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sugary snacks and processed foods give a quick energy spike but leave you drained later. Choose fruits, nuts, whole grains, and homemade meals for stable energy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_skip_meals\"><\/span>Don&#8217;t skip meals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skipping meals causes fatigue, low focus, and irritability. Eating small, regular meals keeps your blood sugar steady and <a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/body\/22638-brain?utm_source=saralstudy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">brain functioning<\/a> at its best.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Balance_your_plate_life\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Balance your plate (life)<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow the \u201c\u00bd veggies + \u00bc protein + \u00bc carbs\u201d rule for meals. Similarly, in life, balance work, rest, and hobbies to avoid burnout.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_adequate_Sleep\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get adequate Sleep<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are numerous studies that have proved again and again the importance of sleep on one&#8217;s health. Quality sleep restores energy, boosts memory, boost brain power and helps the brain detox. Aim for 7\u20139 hours of restful sleep each night.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Move_Your_Body\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Move Your Body<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exercise and movement for the body is as essential as eating healthy and sleeping adequately. Even short walks, stretches, or a few minutes of exercise can boost circulation, reduce stress, and improve mood. You don\u2019t need fancy equipment or outfit, just some home exercises and stretches work as well for Boost Brain Power.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Practice_Mindful_Breaks\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Practice Mindful Breaks<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you ever felt how your day was just a blur in your memory? You don\u2019t remember what you ate, what you did, how you felt. Mindfulness helps you be present. Hence, mindfulness breaks are essential while studying or doing any task worth your mental capacity. Therefore, step away from screens, do some deep breathing, or practice mindfulness for a few minutes. It reduces stress and boost brain power.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_Plan_Prioritize\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span>Plan &amp; Prioritize<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a structured routine prevents last-minute stress. Very often we complicate planning by overthinking and stuffing our day with unrealistic expectations from ourselves. Hence prioritization of our goals and tasks comes into play. Prioritize tasks but also leave space for relaxation and spontaneity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Positive_Social_Connections\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Positive Social Connections<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Talking with friends, family, or even colleagues can lift your mood and give emotional balance. Our mental health is codependent on our physical health. Not feeling good can affect our physical health as much as poor physical health leading to poor mental\u00a0 health. For example, you must have noticed that when sad, you don\u2019t feel like eating and then poor nutrition can lead to poor mental energy which then can lead to poor mood. This is a cycle that continues. Positive social connections are hence important to boost brain power as humans are social creatures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saralstudy.com\/blog\/tips-to-improve-power-your-brain\/\"><strong>10 Tips To Improve The Power Of Your Brain<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know?
