Why?

The food you eat plays a role in improving your brain health. To avoid brain diseases or mental decline and keep your mind in peak working condition, you must eat foods rich in: ✓ B6 - found in pork, chicken, turkey, some fish, peanuts, milk, bananas, soya beans, and oats. ✓ B12 - good sources include milk, eggs, fortified breakfast cereals, mushrooms, plain yogurt. ✓ Folic acid - found in broccoli, brussels sprouts, leafy green vegetables, peas, chickpeas and kidney beans, liver, breakfast cereals fortified with folic acid. Also, some minerals like iron, zinc, and sodium - mainly found in red meat, meat products, and poultry - are fundamental to brain health. And let's not forget carbohydrates, an efficient energy source for its fast-acting property. The brain uses around 20% of a person's energy resources, so include healthy food in your diet to boost your alertness, memory, mood, and feel prepared to face the night shift.
