I searched for foods that can help boost our brain and here they are. These foods are also good in fighting against stress and depression. There are still many out there so if you can add some that will be great

Avocado is rich in monounsaturated fat that helps blood circulate better that is optimal for brain function.

Blueberries is high in fiber and low on the glycemic index so they are not only good for the body but safe for diabetics too as they do not mess up with our blood sugar. Blueberries are the best brain food and they have been linked to reduced risk for Alzheimer’s. They are also anti-stress however you should avoid them dried or sweetened.

Wild Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids that are essentials for the brain. These fats are linked to improved alertness, memory and mood; reduced depression, anxiety, and hyperactivity. Choose wild Alaskan salmon only, and eat small portions no more than twice a week.

Nuts contain protein, high amounts of fiber, and rich in beneficial fats, and vitamin E that is essential for cognitive function. The best of all nuts is almond but you can also opt for cashew, hazelnuts, and walnuts. Peanuts are not advisable as they have less healthy fat that other type of nuts.

Seeds like sunflower, flax seed, and tahini contain lots of protein, beneficial fat, and vitamin E. They also fight stress as they are rich in anti-oxidants and brain-boosting minerals like magnesium.

Coffee is good for the brain and also contains fiber. It helps the cardiovascular system and provides energy boost as well. You can enjoy 2-4 cups daily to be safe.

Oatmeal is one of the best foods for cardiovascular health, which translates to brain health. It is packed with fiber, protein, and a small amount of omega-3 and good grain that will sustain you throughout the morning so you aren’t prone to irritability or an energy crash.

Beans are loaded with fiber, vitamins, minerals and protein. It provides a steady, slow release of glucose to the brain – which means energy all day without the sugar crash. Don’t go eating a whole platter of frijoles, though – just 1/4 of a cup is fine.

Pomegranate contain blueberry-like levels of antioxidants, which are essential for a healthy brain which also fights stress.

Brown Rice is a low-glycemic complex carbohydrate that is excellent for people sensitive to gluten who still want to maintain cardiovascular health. The better your circulation, the sharper your brain.
