God made every organ in our bodies with a purpose but the brain is the main one if i may say so. The brain is one amazing organ. Its clear we would be nothing or for that matter useless without it because its the center of our nervous system, responsible for so many functions in the body. Due to this the brain requires the right foods and nutrients to make sure it functions in the right way.
According to research 50% of the food we take ends up fueling the brain thus bringing the ultimate impact of development, memory and cognition. A decline in brain health is something we all often associate with aging, and actually this is true because his or her cells are naturally dying off at the end of the day, having the proper meal will ensure that the brain functions at its very best. Now the question is how can you improve your brain power ?
Break fast ?
Most people consider breakfast as the most important meal of the day and this is nothing less than the truth. Not only does this help in jump starting the metabolism in your body but it still helps in waking up your brain and keeping it alert. When you take a proper meal in the morning it gives your brain the energy it requires for the day. However, when you stave the brain by skipping breakfast it all leads to lack of concentration. Weight problems and fatigue. A health breakfast replenishes your glucose levels which at the morning are very low. As we all know glucose is the main source of energy for our bodies.... you need to feed as your brain feeds on glucose, but does not for that matter store glucose hence you will be more alert after having breakfast.
Balance your glucose
Glucose is the sugar that circulates in the blood, therefore it is very critical for the brain optimal function. Glucose is the brains main source of fuel and deficiencies can cause the brain to slow down and malfunction at the same time. This blood sugar comes from the foods we eat and to be more particular carbohydrates and starches. Make sure you have a steady energy intake through out the day.
