Recipe for a Healthy Mind: 7 Foods to Improve Your Mental Health

Here’s a list of must have foods in your diet everyday for optimal brain function.

Brain is a very complex and busy organ. Even if you are sitting idle or asleep, it is continuously working and busy thinking, processing, storing, transmitting, receiving information and carrying out vital functions like breathing, regulating your heart beat, coordinating sensory and motor skills.

All of this certainly takes up a lot of energy but where does that energy come from?

The food we eat! And the kind of food can make all the difference.

The most important nutrients our brain needs are: omega 3, zinc, B vitamins (especially B12 and B9), Vitamin D, choline, zeutin, probiotics, magnesium, antioxidants, amino acids and iron.
