Best brain foods and nutrition
by: Peter

Yes it's true fish are high in omega 3 oils.

Also, Most of the vitamins Bs and folic acid have brain boosting advantages...

- Vitamin B1 or Thiamine)is essential for the brain and nerve cells. Present in whole grains and their food products like rice, pasta, cereals, pasta and whole breads.

- Vitamin B5 or Pantothenic acid helps in the transmission of nerve impulses. It's present in fish, meat, poultry, whole-grain cereals, legumes, milk, vegetables, and fruit.

- Vitamin B6 or Pyridoxine helps to convert tryptophan into serotonin (a chemical for brain function).
It's found in pork, liver, chicken, fish, and kidneys, and also grain cereals, nuts, and legumes.

- Vitamin B12 or Cyanocobalamin, helps keep nervous tissue healthy. Present in eggs, meat, fish, poultry, and dairy products.

- Folic acid is good (metabolism of fatty acids in the brain) is in bananas, orange juice, fortified cereals, leafy vegetables, lemons, strawberries, dried beans and peas.

These are the top 5 best brain foods according to Scientific studies

1) Wild Salmon.

2) Cacao beans.

3)Japanese Matcha green tea.

4) Acai berries and blueberries.

5) Coffee beans. Yet another South American power brain food!

Combine these with exercises and that will give your fat burning mission a rocket boost.
