Berries

Berries are sweet, juicy and loaded with powerful vitamins that protect the brain from oxidative stress and age-related disorders such as dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Amla is also known as Indian Gooseberry nourishes the brain and improves mental functioning. Other berries such as strawberries and raspberries are rich in anti-oxidants which fight off free radicle and protect against memory loss and other disorders. Give your kid a handful of berries to chomp on as an evening snack.

Avocado

Avocados are a great source of Omega-3 fatty acids which help maintain function in areas of the brain which are responsible for regulating mood and emotion. Consuming avocados help increase the level of ‘feel-good’ chemicals in the brain. They also help you feel full for longer, help the body absorb nutrients more efficiently and naturally lower cholesterol levels.

Spinach

Dark leafy green vegetables are loaded with memory-boosting vitamins and minerals such as folate, vitamin B and vitamin K. A regular consumption of spinach can help reduce symptoms of depression naturally. Spinach is also rich in iron and low in calories and rich in iron, making it a great food for growing children!

Almonds

While almonds are generally known to help improve memory skills, they are also a superfood when it comes to improving overall brain function. In addition to vitamin F, fiber, and, folate, these crunchy nuts are high in phytochemicals which help the brain combat inflammation. We recommend feeding your children 2-3 soaked and peeled almonds at least twice a day.

Broccoli

Broccoli is rich in two crucial nutrients, vitamin K and Choline, which help boost brain function. Vitamin K helps strengthen cognitive abilities and Choline is known to improve memory function. Daily consumption of broccoli has been known to improve memory power and quickens up the body’s ability to health cuts and wounds much faster. Add boiled or sautéed broccoli to your children’s soups or favourite dishes to get them to load up on this superfood.

Bananas are often referred to as brain food. It is rich in potassium and magnesium which gives the brain energy, which in turn increases one’s ability to pay attention to things and stay focused.
