In today's fast-paced, multitasking world, staying mentally sharp isn't just a bonus—it's essential.
Whether you're a student preparing for exams, a professional juggling deadlines, or a senior looking to preserve cognitive health, what you eat can significantly affect how your brain performs. The brain, like any other organ, thrives on proper nourishment. Certain foods and nutrients can enhance concentration, improve memory, and even protect against age-related decline. Let's explore the science behind "brain foods" and what should make it to your plate.
The Brain's Best Friend: Omega-3 Fatty Acids
The human brain is nearly 60 percent fat, and among these, omega-3 fatty acids—especially DHA and EPA—are vital for maintaining cell structure and communication. They improve cognitive function, memory, and mood, while also reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. Best sources: Fatty fish such as salmon, sardines, tuna, and mackerel; plant-based alternatives include flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts.
