FACT: The ‘fuel’ you put into your body determines how well you can focus!
Some foods may give you a rush of energy, but it’s no different than putting sprite in your sports car! It may run powerfully for a short time, but it lands up causing harm to the engine!
The question is: which foods are harmful to our focus and memory…and mood? And are there foods which can make us feel good, positive AND improve our focus and memory?
Here are some of the foods that make our brains function better!
Did you know you can boost your “concentration and memory” for up to five hours by eating BLUEBERRIES?! It’s true! They improve the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain!
Do you want to think faster, be more focused, be more creative? Make sure you are drinking enough WATER! Yup. Pure, simple water. It gives the brain the electrical energy for all brain functions, including thought and memory processes.
And then there’s CHOCOLATE. What?! Did I say chocolate is good for your brain?! I did indeed! There’s a slight catch…. It’s got to be dark chocolate. But I’m sure you can think of creative ways to eat it so it’s not bitter ????. Dark chocolate helps your brain release the ‘good mood’ chemicals in your brain AND it helps you sleep at night. Good mood + good sleep = better focus!
An interesting fact about ‘junk food’ is that the more you eat it, the more you crave it! Our tummies rumble faster when we are eating foods that are not good for us! So if you are filling up on crisps, sugary foods, pastries and fizzy drinks… your sports car is not going to be performing like it should!
