5 foods to boost your memory

I have many friends writing midterms at the moment. Midterms can be very stressful. It is very important for you to remember your information so you can do the very best possible. Here are five foods you can eat to boost your brainpower.

1. Whole grains

Get your whole grains. Whole grains give you energy that lasts the entire day. Grains have glucose in them, slowly releasing into your blood stream, keeping you mentally alert all day long.

2. Tomatoes

Tomatoes have lycopene, a powerful antioxidant. The lycopene helps protect you from free radical damage to cells. This can occur when Alzheimer’s develops.

3. Black currents

Black currents are full of vital vitamin C, and can be used in many recipes. Black current juice is a common way to boost the mental agility in your brain.

4. Broccoli

Remember when your parents used to always tell you to eat your greens. Well the reason was that broccoli actually is an amazing source of vitamin K. This vitamin found in the greenly goodness of broccoli helps create better cognitive brain function and therefore improving overall brainpower.

5. Chocolate

I saved the best for last: CHOCOLATE! Everyone loves brownies and chocolate cake, but did you know that its actually contains a class of antioxidants that help your brain memory. Since chocolate is 70% cocoa;  it has flavonoids so be sure to sweeten your diet with your favourite chocolate.

I hope you all add these foods into your brain boosting diet for optimum result. If you have a test coming up, good luck!
