Theory of How Brain Builds Images Earns Grawemeyer Prize
Can what we eat and drink really increase our focus and concentration?
1. Caffeine Can Make You More Alert - the effects are short term. And more is often less: Overdo it on caffeine and it can make you jittery and uncomfortable.
2. Sugar is your brain's preferred fuel source - That’s why a glass of something sweet to drink can offer a short-term boost to memory, thinking processes, and mental ability. Consume too much, however, and memory can be impaired, along with the rest of you.
3. Protein - Eating a diet rich in lean and low-fat protein is good for weight loss and overall health though it's hard to draw a connection with brain function.
4. Fish Really is Brain Food - Fish is rich in omega 3 fatty acids, essential for brain function and development. For brain and heart health, eat two servings of fish weekly.
5. Add a Daily Dose of Nuts, Dark Chocolate - Nuts and seeds are good sources of the antioxidant vitamin E, which is associated with less cognitive decline as you age.
6. Avocados and Whole Grains - Eating whole grains and fruits like avocados can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and enhance blood flow, offering a simple, tasty way to fire up brain cells.
7. Blueberries Are Super Nutritious - Help protect the brain from oxidative stress and may reduce the effects of age-related conditions such as Alzheimer's disease or dementia.
8. Less is more - Strive for a well-balanced diet chock full of a wide variety of healthy, wholesome foods.
9. Exercise - help sharpen thinking. Get a good night's sleep. Meditate to clear thinking and relax.
