Eat brain food

When studying eat brain food at least once an hour...
What is brain food?
To begin with, the best food for your brain is protein. The best sources of protein are unsalted nuts, chicken and fish. Fish, for many years, has been called brain food. Fish contains essential oils and amino acids that your brain directly uses. We're not talking about the processed "fish and chips" fish, or takeaway chicken, but fresh fish and chicken.
Another food group that is good for your brain is fruit and vegetables. Essentially, what your brain needs from fruit and vegetables is vitamin B and vitamin C. If you're not getting enough vitamins B or C, you may find it a little harder to remember things. In fact, research shows that when elderly people supplemented their diets with vitamins B and C, their memory recall went up 100%. If you're not getting the vitamin B and the vitamin C that you need, your memory may not be working to its full capacity.
There is one other food that is absolutely fantastic for the brain, and you can eat as much of this as you like popcorn. Popcorn is a complex carbohydrate. It is best eaten plain and unsalted. Popcorn one of the best foods you can eat while studying.
