We believe every one on this planet wishes to be smarter every now and then. We are pretty sure Albert Einstein and other great scientists who invented lots of things wouldn’t mind if they had more IQ points.
It is not proven though that a person’s intelligence can be moved to a complete genius with any way but we are certain that there are foods that can help you boost it.
Check out these five foods that can make you more smarter and we urge you to try them.
1. Coconut oil
Coconut oil is known to contain medium-chain triglyceride or MCTs, which is proven to be very beneficial for one’s brain health.The MCTs in coconut oil break down into ketones, which can be used by brain cells for fuel. The idea is that supplying the brain with some extra fuel might make it run better.
2. Eggs
Eggs are a good source of several nutrients tied to brain health, including vitamins B6 and B12, folate and choline. Choline is an important micronutrient that your body uses to create acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood and memory. Eggs were once portrayed as the food that contained lots of cholesterol and bad for our health by some health experts in the past but that is not the case anymore. Containing omega-3 fatty acids, they are seen by some health experts as the ideal food for the brain. It’s best to seek out eggs from free-range hens since tests have shown that they contain twice as much as standard store-bought eggs.
3. Coffee
Rsearch has shown that a good amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee is more than enough to improve your brain function. It blocks adenosine, an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain that makes you sleepy. Caffeine may improve various aspects of brain function, including mood, reaction time, vigilance, attention, learning and general mental function.
4. Hot pepper
The substance that makes peppers hot, capsaicin, is known to have beneficial effects on the brain. It turns out the brain has numerous receptors for capsaicin, and when the brain is exposed to it, it helps to calm the nerves and improve the ability to focus.In really simple terms, these compounds send a message to your brain that make it think it’s in pain. As a response, your brain releases endorphins and dopamine.
5. Berries
Everyone likes either blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries. Both blueberries and raspberries contain anthocyanin, which helps to protect neurons that are associated with memory. Strawberries contain fisetin, a compound that is also linked to improved memory function. One medical research study found that eating a cup of blueberries per day can improve memory noticeably after just a few months.
