Because although the skeptic in us all might have doubt, there’s a wide variety of foods out there that have powerful effects on our brain function and we’re going to walk you through the best picks in this video. You’ll discover the brain-boosting power of some great whole foods like eggs along with some great snack choices that can give you a nice mental boost during a long day. You’ll also learn about powerful brain-boosting drinks and what to look for in vitamins and supplements to get the best brain-boosting effects without breaking the bank. Brain-Boosting Benefits of Omega-3 Fatty Acids (0:34) Before we dive into the specific food choices, let’s look at omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3’s are found in things like salmon, flaxseed, various nuts & seeds, and in addition to managing our cholesterol, there’s compelling research on its brain-boosting effects. So the first thing to incorporate into your brain-boosting diet is consistent sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Brain-Boosting Benefits of Choline (2:21) One of our brain’s main neurotransmitters is called acetylcholine, which our body can create more of from the choline contained in certain foods. This helps improve the overall function of our nerves and our brain’s ability to communicate and signal to the rest of our body. Without a doubt, the best food source of choline is high-quality eggs, specifically the yolk. To get the maximum benefit from the choline in the yolk, it’s best not to overcook and eat it sunny side up because the heat will start to denature the choline. A great plant-based source of choline is broccoli, which also contains some amazing antioxidants that protect our brain and body from harmful free radicals. More Brain-Boosting Food Sources (4:48) #1 Dark Chocolate (Cocoa). Yes, a high percentage of dark chocolate (ideally over 70%) contains some powerful brain-boosting ingredients like theobromine that boost the overall function of our brains neurotransmitters along with memory and focus. #2 Healthy Fats (5:40). Because a large percentage of our brain is made up of fat, healthy sources of this macronutrient can have some powerful brain-boosting effects. Great Healthy Fat Sources: - High-quality fish like salmon, sardines - Nuts - Healthy Oils- Extra Virgin Olive Oil, MCT Oil, (6:03 Oil Video) - Avocado Brain Power Killers (6:35) High sources of sugar are at the top of the list of the top brain power killers. Anything like candy, soda, etc… that spikes your blood sugar levels are going to have immediate negative effects on your brain power and function and should be avoided. Good Fruit Choices for Brain Power (6:54) Although we want to watch out for eating too much fruit at once and spiking our blood sugar levels, things like organic berries have certain compounds in them that protect our brain and improve overall function. Shake (7:50) Brain-Boosting Drinks & Supplements (8:15) - Coffee - Probiotic foods and supplements (9:22 Video Link) - Magnesium l-threanate - Creatine Monohydrate - Lion’s Mane (mushroom) - Rosemary Essential Oil Overall, incorporating these foods into your daily diet will give you that extra edge and mental clarity in a way that is sustained throughout the day.
