| Question: | What foods improve your concentration? |
| Answer: | The answer is eggs and fish. But they' ve got to be the right kind. Carnivorous, oily, fatty - whatever you call them, herring, wild or organic salmon, mackerel and trout contain the essential omega-3 fats that are proven to sharpen your mind. In fact, blood levels of omega-3s in newborn infants correlate with their IQ at the age of five. If you don' t like eating fish, supplement an omega-3-rich fish oil every day. Oily fish, and especially sardines, also contain pyroglutamate, an amino acid that improves concentration.
Eggs, on the other hand, contain phospholipids that also help improve memory and concentration. But don' t fry them, as this destroys the valuable nutrients, and always go for organic and/or free range. Columbus free-range eggs, available in your super-market, are also rich in omega-3 fats because they feed their chickens a diet high in them. |
