Hi Girls^^ Eating a healthful food has always been wise. But can certain foods and drinks actually make you smarter? Is brain food is really exist? A very cool studies show nutrients might have awesome positive effect for the brain. Recent studies have shown that nutrients may have significantly positive effects on the brain. The cool thing is some foods can maximize your brain’s potential.

The brain uses carbohydrate for energy and omega 3-fatty acid for forming its cell structure. Vitamin B plays an essential role in brain function. In addition, foods rich in antioxidant nutrients, such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E and beta-carotene, help protect brain cells from free-radical damage caused by environmental pollution. Protection against free radicals is important to protecting the brain well into the golden years. This is one easy fun way to get smarter and all you need to do is to know which foods are good for your brain and make is as your new favorite diet.

Egg yolks
Egg yolks contribute choline to the diet that responsible for brain function and health. Choline also helps to prevent the brain diseases.

Spinach
Spinach helps protect the brain from stress while reducing the risk from brain diseases, spinach also improve the learning capacity and motor skills.

Yellow fin Tuna
A cold-water fish, yellow fin tuna is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. This is important if we remember that structurally, the brain is made up of 60% fat. Consuming foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids keeps cells’ membranes flexible and maximizes their ability to allow important nutrients in. Yellow fin tuna is rich in the B vitamin niacin, which also protects the brain against brain diseases.
Cranberries
Cranberries protect brain cells from free-radical damage and the consumption of this tart fruit can improve your memory, balance and coordination.

Sweet potatoes
Sweet potatoes are especially brain nourishing. They are rich in vitamin B6 as well as carbohydrate (the only fuel source the brain uses) and antioxidant nutrients (vitamin C and beta-carotene).

Strawberries
One of my very favorite fruit strawberries help protects the brain while reducing the risk of brain diseases. Just half a cup provides 70% of the recommended daily value for vitamin C. Research studies has shown that strawberry eaters may have a higher learning capacity and better motor skills than non-strawberry eaters. Wooowww now I can eat strawberry as much as I want too hehe ☺

Kidney beans
One cup of cooked kidney beans contains almost 19% of the recommended daily value for the B-vitamin thiamin. Thiamin is very important because it helps to synthesize choline that also one of the important component for brain. Kidney beans improve the cognitive function of the brain.

Raisin bran
Raisin bran provides carbohydrates, iron, B vitamins, folic acid, calcium and magnesium. These are all important nutrients for brain fuel, as well as health and vitality. Magnesium helps relax blood vessels also prevents migraine and tension headaches.

Wheat germ
Wheat germ is a powerful brain food because it is rich in vitamin E and selenium (both very potent antioxidant nutrients), as well as choline and magnesium.

Another great source of choline is peanuts, so you can make it as one of your healthy snack. Other good sources for brain are flaxseed and you always can add olive oil for your salad dressing

There are so many great ways that you can do to be smarter. Regular exercise, enough rest, eat healthy and regular study everyday will make school easier and you will have so much fun when you score those awesome grades
