Top 10 foods for brain and nervous system health:

  1. Green leafy vegetables (Green leafy vegetables are rich in vitamin B complex, vitamin C, vitamin E and Magnesium)
  2. Fish
  3. Dark Chocolate
  4. Broccoli
  5. Eggs
  6. Salmon
  7. Avocados
  8. Almonds
  9. Pumpkin Seeds
  10. Nuts

Eating healthy is important for our mental and physical well being. Sometimes our bodies require some specific nutrients to be more active and healthy. The Brain also requires some important nutrients to function properly.

  1. Green Leafy Vegetables- are rich in vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin E and magnesium all of which are important for proper functioning of our nervous system.
  • Vitamin B is essential in the process of synthesizing and circulating neurotransmitters, which are brain chemicals that regulate heartbeat, respiration and digestion.
  • Magnesium helps in calming the nerves
  • Vitamin E and C act as anti-aging for the nervous system

2. Fish- Fish contain very high levels of fatty acid. Lack in fatty acids can possibly result in damage of the nerves. Omega 3 fatty acids help in healing of the nerves and nervous system.

3. Dark Chocolate- Dark chocolate are full of flavonols which have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant property. Benefits: Lower the blood pressure, improve blood flow to both brain and heart. 70% of chocolate available in the market are highly processed and barely have any benefits. Get the chocolate that is minimally processed with at least 70% of cocoa.

4. Broccoli- Broccoli is rich in vitamin K which is known to improve brain power and cognitive skills. Broccoli is rich in a compound called Glucosinolates which can slow the breakdown of the neurotransmitter, Acetylcholine, which the central nervous system needs to preform its function properly and keep our brain and memory sharp.

5. Eggs- Eggs are rich in Choline and B vitamin. When you consume eggs, the choline in them is used by the brain to make acetylcholine, which is a neurotransmitter that is important for memory and communication among brain cells.

6. Salmon- as already mentioned, omega 3 fatty acid has an important role to play in cognitive functioning. Low levels of omega 3 fatty acids can be linked to smaller brain volume and poor mental performance. Salmon is a rich source of omega 3 which can strengthen the brainpower.

7. Avocados- Rich in both vitamin K and folate, avocados can help prevent blood blot in the brain and can protect your from potential strokes. Avocados can help improve memory and concentration, they also have the highest protein and lowest sugar content as compared to any other fruit.

8. Almonds- They have high levels of brain-healthy omega 3 fatty acids and lots of brain-protecting vitamin E just like the salmon fish.

9. Pumpkin Seeds- These are an excellent source of magnesium, copper, iron and zinc. Pumpkin seeds contain powerful antioxidants that protect the body and brain from free radical damage.

10. Nuts- Nuts have been shown to improve cognitive skills and even help prevent neurological disorder. There are several nutrients in nuts such as healthy fats, antioxidants, and vitamin E.

Magnesium is essential for learning and memory and low magnesium levels can be linked to many neurological diseases, including migraines, depression and epilepsy. Zinc is crucial for nerve signaling.

I personally like Broccoli, but for those who don’t we have an amazing product called Cruciferous Plus which is Whole Food Based and contains Broccoli, Radish, Kale, Black Mustard, Brown Mustard and Watercress.

As for the Salmon and Fish go we have our Omega-3 Salmon Oil Plus supplement and our Carotenoid Complex for the Leafy Greens and it contains Tomatoes, Carrots, Spinach, Red Bell Peppers, Strawberries, Apricots and Peaches.

Pro-Vitality is one of the best products with all of that included. Plus the Tre-en-en Grain Concentrates to enhance energy and vitality by optimizing cellular nutrition.
