Did you know that there are actually a lot of foods out there that can classified as 'brain food' or 'healthy food?' If you didn't, then some of these foods here on the list might be surprising to you if you are seeing them for the first time:
1. Salmon that is caught from the wild
Salmon contains a lot of omega 3 fatty acids that aids in the blood flowing to the brain and also allows your brain to function at its maximum capacity. The thing here to note is that it is important to only consume salmon from the wild, and not those salmon that are raised in farms or processed unnaturally.
2. Coffee Beans
Although too much caffeine is not good, coffee beans are still considered to be healthy foods if you consume them moderately. Coffee contains all sorts of nutrients such as amino acids, vitamins and certain minerals that are essential to brain function. Caffeine content in coffee has also been proven to reduce the chance of contracting Alzheimer's and dementia.
3. Cacao Beans
Although the name cacao may seem weird and funny to you at first, it is actually something we are all familiar with. Yes, cacao beans are the beans that chocolates are made from. Cacao beans are good for promoting brain functions as they are rich in amino acids, minerals and vitamins. Beware though, only dark chocolates are made from cacao beans, not milk or while chocolates.
4. Avocado
Again, avocados are a great source of omega 3 acids. I guess I don't need to repeat myself on how great omega acids are when it comes to allowing your brain to perform. Avocados can also serve as a great replacement for cheese and dairy products as it provides you with a natural source of fat. Consuming fats in moderation is still necessarily to maintain a healthy living, and avocados can help you to do so without you worrying about getting plump.
5. Books
Books...? Although books aren't necessarily food, I feel that it would be good to include them here as we always have to make sure that we are always feeding our brains with something that our brain can 'chew' on, or else it won't matter whatever food we consume in the world if they don't stimulate productive thoughts. Look for books that are inspirational and will help you to find out and learn more about the things that you want to achieve in your life.
