When it comes to the brain, simple and easy-to-make juices can make a lot of difference. These juices not only improve your memory but are of great help to the cognitive functions as well. While green tea is a known component for increased brain function, there are other drinks too, which can charge your brain over the long term if consumed daily.

Some of them are mentioned below:

  1. Beet juice: Apart from being a nutritional powerhouse, beet juice is a great source of nitric acid. It helps with blood flow in the body. A smooth blood flow, on the other hand, helps the brain in functioning properly. A study has found that people who consume beet juice have an increased circulation in the brain resulting in increased brain activity. This juice is sweet in taste and can be consumed every alternate day.
  2. Berry smoothy: Acai berry is a fruit which has a South African origin and hits the top of the list when it comes to brain assisting food. It increases the flow of the blood and dilates the blood vessels. However, it is extremely expensive. Berries also have a similar effect on the brain, but they are less powerful in nature. You can mix Acai in frozen berries juice and drink it every day. Frozen berries retain freshness and have nutritional benefits. This drink will improve your brain and increase blood flow in the body.
  3. Pomegranate juice: Pomegranate is a great antioxidant and limits the free radicals from damaging the brain cells. Antioxidants are also credited with increased blood flow and protection of the heart. A healthy cardiovascular system is synonymous to an increased brain function. Surprisingly, pomegranate has more antioxidant content compared to red wine and green tea. Pomegranate juice can be consumed daily during the morning or afternoon.
  4. Carrot juice: Carrot is known for its healthy components that are beneficial for the eyes. Recent studies have revealed that they are great for the brain too. Like other coloured vegetables, they are a great source of antioxidant and have a high content of beta-carotene. Carrot juice can reduce the inflammation of the brain cells and improve memory. Carrot juice is not at all bitter and can be consumed every alternate day after your meal.
  5. Cocoa: A Harvard study revealed that two cups of cocoa on a daily basis greatly help a person in improving memory. Cocoa contains flavanols that keep the blood pressure normal and relaxes the blood vessel linings. Cocoa is also known to be a great antioxidant agent that limits the free radical to affect the brain cells. Cocoa should not be overloaded with sugar and should be consumed hot before starting your day.

These drinks help charge your brain and maintain a good mental health forever.
