FOOD FOR THOUGHT 🧠

GREETINGS❕👋🏼

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at hone 🥰

 We eat when we are hungry and sometimes when we aren’t 😏 The only real reason to eat is for survival although there are many reasons why we might

The human body will survive only a short time without food (weeks/months) depending on the condition of the body and the conditions the body is experiencing

One thing to consider when you are eating is not just that it satisfies your hunger or survival but how it makes you feel and function

You can have some food that makes you have more or less energy and some food that helps or hinders your ability to use your brain

Here is a list of some food that can help with your brain function

1. Water

Your body is 70% water, your brain is 70% water and you want to be able to hydrate that. Your brain is only about 2% of your body mass but it requires 20% of the nutrients so keep that water up! 

2. Avocados

Containing good, healthy fats, avocados increase a number of different feel-good chemicals in the brain. Avocados are also a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids that assist with brain function, mood regulation, and emotions.

3. Blueberries

Jim calls them brain berries! 

Full of anthocyanins, blueberries provide anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects which help combat brain aging and neurodegenerative diseases and also supports improved communication between brain cells.

4. Broccoli

Your mum was right! Broccoli is good for your health and for your brain because it is high in antioxidants as well as Vitamin K so it helps protect the brain against damage and helps with better memory function. 

5. Coconut Oil

The fatty acids in coconut oil are good for your brain and have even been linked to supporting people with Alzheimer’s Disease. 

6. Eggs

There are a number of reasons why eggs are great for the brain, with essential fatty acids, Vitamins B6 and B12, folate and choline, which help to regulate mood, memory and cognitive function.

7. Green Leafy Vegetables

Containing large amounts of folate, green leafy vegetables and spinach, in particular, can help reduce symptoms of depression and are very neuroprotective.

8. Wild Salmon

The Omega-3 fatty acids in wild salmon (and sardines) are good for the brain. If you’re not getting enough of this essential fatty acid you may notice a cognitive decline, emotional imbalances and mood issues.

9. Turmeric

Turmeric, extremely good for the brain with great anti-inflammatory properties. Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric helps to improve memory, ease depression and help new brain cells grow.  Jim Kwik likes to make a golden tea with turmeric and pepper to help absorb the benefits. Some people like honey, some almond milk as a base.

10. Walnuts

Nuts, and in particular Walnuts improve cognition and memory and slow mental decline. Even if you notice, we look at a walnut, it looks like what? It looks like the human brain. Walnuts also contain Omega-3 fatty acids so there’s double the reason to enjoy these nuts for brain health.

11. Dark Chocolate

Saving the best for last, eat dark chocolate for your brain (and your taste buds!). Dark chocolate boosts concentration, mood and actually improves blood flow to the brain. The darker the chocolate, the better!

I am enjoying some yogurt right now while I create this post and I have enhanced it with blueberries, cinnamon and honey 😋
