Without a healthy diet, it is difficult to concentrate, remember, pay attention and learn. This applies to both children and adults, but perhaps is more critical to a child’s success in school. It’s never too late to make some healthy changes to your entire family’s diet to be sure that everyone is getting enough brain food.
Eating foods with folate, omega-3 fatty acids and tryptophan are some of the best ways to get the nutrients you need to your brain. Here are 10 of the best brain foods you can eat to optimise your brain function.
