Bad news is that as we age so do our bodies and our mental functioning as well, however good news is that there are a variety of ways to keep the brain in good shape. Here we will go through some of these in the hopes to debunk some myths, prove others and just check what options we can choose from.

Enter the usual suspects- caffeine, sugar and breakfast meals. Caffeine is an accessible energy source which helps with alertness and the overall concentration. Readily available in many forms- be it the beloved morning/daily coffee, chocolate, energy drinks and teas. It can also promote healthy weight loss and in certain forms benefit the cardiovascular system. Nevertheless you should consume it with caution as it may accelerate the heart rate and make you anxious. Sugar in the form of glucose also has a pronounced short term effect on the body. It can enhance mental activity but taken in greater quantities can have the opposite effects. A lot of us are also probably tempted or pressed by time to skip breakfast which is a huge mistake. A healthy breakfast which is rich in fiber can make up for lost sleep, as do dairy products and fruit.



Fish ranks very high on the list thanks to its high values in omega-3 fatty acids. They are well known for their anti-inflammatory properties and the beneficial effect they have on the nervous and the cardiovascular system. They also aid the brain function as they slow down mental aging too, as well as lower dementia and stroke risks. Next, a good option for your sugar and caffeine intake is opting for chocolate and nuts instead. They don’t only have potent antioxidant properties, but are also high in vit. E and contain a good amount of caffeine on top of that too.




 Blueberries always make the list thanks to their strong antioxidant qualities. As well as protecting the organism against the activity of free radical cells they also protect the brain against Alzheimer, dementia and other degenerative diseases. If you wish to maintain a good focus we recommend maintaining a healthy diet. Eating more or less makes it difficult for the body to assimilate the necessary nutrients in order to function well, this applies to the brain as well. Next, we have a wide range of supplements which can aid the mental function. Here you can choose between the various vitamin and mineral formulas- with vit. B, C, E and magnesium to herbal extracts from different adaptogens like ginseng, ginkgo biloba and rhodiola.
