 What Are the Best Foods for Brain Health?

 It’s no secret that a healthy diet can improve your energy levels and help you maintain your weight. But did you know that it can also help maintain or improve your brain function?

Nootropics for a Sharper Mental Edge  

The word nootropic (pronounced noo·traa·pik) comes from the Greek word’s nous, which means “mind” and tropē, which means “turning”. It refers to substances that help to enhance cognitive functions like thinking, memory, and focus in healthy people.  

Nootropic Elixir is a natural way to feed your brain with nutrients and botanical ingredients that deliver focus on demand while supporting long-term brain health for a sharper mental edge. Nootropic Elixir’s multifunctional ingredients include green tea, beetroot, amla, purslane, and phosphatidylserine.

• Green tea provides naturally-sourced caffeine for immediate focus along with brain-supporting polyphenols.
• Beetroot extract promotes blood flow and oxygen delivery for mental performance.
• Amla and purslane provide protective phytonutrients to support overall well-being and brain health.
• Phosphatidylserine is an essential component of nerve cells. It helps to support memory and cognitive function with long-term use while also offering immediate benefits for alertness and concentration.

      Brain and Body 

      Although it weighs about 3 pounds or just 2% of an average person’s body weight, the brain has an outsized demand for resources and consumes around 20% of the body’s oxygen supply. The brain is the body’s most complex organ and is packed with around 86 billion neurons. Each of these neurons forms connections with many others to exchange information and create circuits, resulting in trillions of connections throughout the brain.   

   This breath-taking complexity and high demand for resources are how the brain enables us to do all that we do but it can also be a vulnerability. The brain requires a lot of support to deliver peak performance, and this is especially true where higher cognitive functions like attention, creativity, and problem-solving are concerned. 

    When conditions are less than ideal, the brain can’t function optimally. Balanced nutrition, good sleep, and adequate exercise go a long way to improving cognitive clarity. However, targeted support from nootropics can deliver an added mental edge. 

 Brain Supplements

Among the most commonly used supplements to help improve cognitive function — such as learning, concentration, memory and creativity — are those that fall into the category of “nootropics.”

Nootropics are considered non-addictive “smart drugs” or substances that help the brain work more efficiently. They include supplements made with ingredients like:

• caffeine
• adaptogen herbs
• medicinal mushrooms
• vitamin B12
• ginseng
• omega-3 fish oil
• certain amino acids

 What are the best foods for brain health?

Certain foods are notably helpful for brain health due to the nutrients they contain. Fatty fish, nuts and seeds are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, which studies show help with cognitive function.

Other foods, including berries and dark chocolate, are rich in antioxidants, which are known to help improve memory performance as we age.

Fatty fish is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, a major building block of the brain. Omega-3s play a role in sharpening memory and improving mood, as well as protecting your brain against cognitive decline.

Coffee can help boost alertness and mood. It may also offer some protection against Alzheimer’s, thanks to its content of caffeine and antioxidants.

Beets are root vegetables and some of the most nutritious foods for the brain that you can eat considering they help reduce inflammation, are high in cancer-protecting antioxidants and help rid your blood of toxins.

The natural nitrates in beets actually boost blood flow to the brain, helping with mental performance. Plus, during tough workouts, beets actually help boost energy and performance levels.

      What foods are true brain foods? Some of the top foods for brain health include oily fish, eggs, nuts, leafy greens, berries, broccoli and other veggies, avocado, and olive or coconut oil.

      These nutrient-packed brain foods fight disease and protect brain cells by providing antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, which can aid in memory, concentration, a positive mood and a better “gut-brain-connection.”

      Brain-healthy foods may also reduce your risk for Alzheimer’s, dementia, depression and other mental health conditions — plus most brain foods support your immune and digestive systems too.
