It is usually vital that you follow a healthy and balanced diet, this is going to give us a feeling of well-being and increase our energy levels also. Most people understand that there are certain foods or perhaps best nootropic drinks that are able to interfere with our brain function and cause loss of concentration and/or mind, although the actual question here though is - are there foods out there which can increase our brain function that will bring about better awareness? The answer is a resounding YES! to that question.

A) What are brain foods and exactly how could they be used?

The following nutrients are used by the brain:

* carbohydrates - for energy
* omega three - for formation of cellular structure
* Vitamin B6, B12 and folic acid - these help manufacture and launch a compound [known as neurotransmitters]
* vitamin C, E and beta carotene [rich in properties that are antioxidant] - protect brain cells from damage due to free-radicals located in environmental pollution

B) Brain Foods to consume and why
1) Spinach - this assists with age associated issues [including decline in function] and may decrease damage from neurological problems and strokes. Spinach in addition protects the brain from oxidant stress [as a antioxidant]
2) Eggs - containing choline [an aspect of fat like molecules] egg yolk is partially responsible for basic brain function and overall health. Choline deficiency is thought contributing to Alzheimers and age related mental declines

3) Sweet potatoes - rich in vitamin B6, C, carbs as well as beta carotene this vegetable is pretty important to the performance of the human brain [see A above]
