You might think a cup of coffee or tea is what helps you stay alert throughout the day. They might be good for an early morning kick off. But you need a lot more in your diet to increase your concentration and memory power.

Here’s a list of foods that work wonders in keeping your brain cells healthy and active:

  1. Breakfast: It is the best way to start your day. A healthy breakfast improves work output and concentration power. A bowl of porridge with low-fat dairy and some nuts or whole grains or cereals with an egg or any other protein makes a nutrient-packed breakfast.
  2. Dark Chocolate: Dark chocolates are high in energy and contain antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals including manganese, potassium and copper. Opt for unsweetened ones and a moderate serving of it may benefit brain health
  3. Berries and Cherries: Dark colored berries and cherries are not just delicious, they are memory boosters too. They contain anthocyanins which are anti-inflammatory and have been found to delay aging of brain cells.
  4. Eggs: That’s right, eggs can make you happy! Eggs have high biological value proteins and therefore a high satiety value. The protein helps brain cells communicate with each other. Choline is an essential nutrient found in eggs and they have been found to help maintain brain health.
  5. Walnuts: It turns out that eating walnuts can keep you from going nuts. Just munching a small handful of walnuts can improve your cognitive health. Their high levels of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals also improve mental alertness. The vitamin E in the nuts can also help ward off Alzheimer’s.
  6. Fish: They are an excellent source of omega 3 which play an important role in improving memory and concentration to a great extent. It contains omega-3 fatty acids, which is needed for rebuilding brain cells. Eating fish twice a week may, in fact, prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
  7. Veggies: Load up on veggies. Including a variety of vegetables can up your memory. Dark-colored vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals which may prevent dementia and keep your brain healthy. 1 serving of green leafy vegetables a day can boost memory power.
