Are you looking to support your health and also boost your brain function? You can achieve both of these goals through nutrition. Good nutrition can improve mental activity, physical and emotional strength and immunity, breathing, and elimination.
Where to begin? First of all, avoid excess. Overindulging in food or drink can impair your energy-the energy which powers the body and the mind. Greasy, fatty, spicy and sweet foods can also lead to "stuck" energy, worsening any symptoms of fogginess or sluggishness. So how can you support your brain and body health with food? Consider these foods and their benefits for your brain and body:

Cooked foods that are easier to digest, so throw them in soup, steam them or stir-fry.
Walnuts are Amazing for Memory
Walnuts are a good source of Vitamin B and E, which supports memory function and slow cell aging. Try eating 1-2 walnuts per day for optimal brain function. Nuts and seeds are rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, folate, vitamin E, vitamin B6 and zinc, all of which allow you to think more clearly. Seeds and nuts rich in thiamine and magnesium are great for memory, cognitive function, and brain nourishment.
Water to have Calm and Restful Mind
Drinking water is a crucial way to nourish your body, calming the mind and improving your rest. It's recommended drinking warm water, to support the body's internal temperature.
Substitute any beverages with pure water to transport nutrients during digestion, to act as fluid between the joints, and help regulate our temperature and skin. As a broad guideline drink half your weight in ounces of water.
