I stumbled upon 5 foods that are doted to help with concentration while on my never-ending quest to find delicious food that is healthy (and if gluten-free a total plus!).
5 Foods That Will Help With Concentration
CHOCOLATE
A square of dark chocolate a day can actually help to sharpen your concentration! The flavanols in this delicious food are known to help with attention and mental skills. Definitely worth trying…I read somewhere that you should try to look for dark chocolate with at least 60% cacao.
SWEET POTATOES
I love sweet potatoes – it’s like eating dessert with dinner. The beta-carotene in this favorite side dish is a free-radical fighting antioxidant! Free radicals aid in the aging effects on your brain….we don’t want them so opt for sweet potato fries in lieu of the white potato kind!
SUNFLOWER SEEDS
Sunflower seeds are an ingredient in one of my favorite salads from Jason’s Deli – the Nutty Mixed-Up Salad. I didn’t know this but these seeds contain vitamin E – an antioxidant, like the beta-carotene in the sweet potato –that fights the free-radicals! I read that one ounce a day is a good amount to consume to reap the rewards.
YOGURT
I can’t eat yogurt, but you probably can!! Probiotics in yogurt are known to increase brain functionality!
CANTALOUPE
Beta-carotene and vitamin C are the favorites in this sweet fruit. Vitamin C helps to stop your brain cells from breaking down prematurely.
There are so many more foods that can aid in honing your concentration skills. Which is your favorite?
