We all know how much brain power is to us, especially mothers who are always worried about their child development.
There is no magic pill which helps to increase brain power, intelligence. No single food can help to increase it. Overall dietary pattern is important. Add below recommended food in your diet.
At Mindwell, we suggest a complete dietary pattern which will include leafy vegetables, legumes, lots of fruits & wholesome grains.
Intake of protein should be maintained from vegetable sources. Choose healthy fat such as olive oil, canola oil instead of saturated fats. Use cold pressed oil instead of refined in your diet.
Here is a list of food which will help to improve brain power.
- Leafy vegetables– Leafy vegetables such as Spinach, Broccoli, Kale, Collard are rich in brain healthy nutrients like Vitamin K, Beta carotene, Folate, Lutein. It slows your cognitive decline.
- Walnuts– omega-3 fatty acids called alpha linolenic acid present in high quantities in walnuts which help to clean your arteries and lower your blood pressure. Nuts are excellent sources of protein and healthy fat. This nut particularly helps in improving memory. In research, it’s found that walnut consumption increases your cognitive test score.
- Berries- The beautiful hue in the berries comes from the natural plant pigment Flavonoids. In research at Harvard, it is found that women who consumed two or more strawberries or blueberries in them each week delayed memory decline by 2-3 years.
- Tea & coffee- Tea and coffee consumption in the right amount boost your short-term concentration. Too much caffeine intake lowers your iron absorption in the body so one should take a moderate amount of coffee.
