8 Key Foods That Boost Focus And Concentration

Focus and concentration are vital in just about everyone’s lives in one way or another. Many people find it hard to focus or concentrate for long periods of time, or sometimes to even get started.

The elusive secret to endless focus and concentration is a myth, but there are certain ways you can increase your focus and concentration levels.

Techniques such as yoga and meditation have been shown to help focus the mind and come highly recommended.

In addition, there are certain foods that can help increase focus and concentration levels, and these are outlined below.


Salmon and other types of fish such as trout, mackerel etc.

These types of fish contain omega-3, which has been continually shown to improve brain function and therefore concentration.

By affecting our cognitive processes, we can think clearer and therefore increase our focus.

These foods also have anti-inflammatory properties, which helps to protect the brain cells and keep them functioning properly.

Berries and Tomatoes

Berries and tomatoes are high in antioxidants, specifically, vitamins A, C and E.

These foods help to maintain sufficient blood flow to the brain, which is essential to keep the brain working, as it should; without an adequate blood flow, the brain will struggle to focus.

Moreover, these foods also contain anti-inflammatory properties, so also help to protect the brain cells.

Nuts

Nuts are high in vitamin B6, which has been scientifically shown to be beneficial to our cognitive processes.

Specifically, vitamin B6 directly affects our memory and concentration levels, so increasing our level of B6 intake can affect our focus and concentration levels.

Research has also suggested that apart from improving our focus and concentration, vitamin B6 may have an important role in protecting us from diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Dementia.

Dark Chocolate

Good quality dark chocolate has many important health benefits in addition to improving focus and concentration.

Research has shown that dark chocolate can increase serotonin and endorphin levels, both of which can help our brain to function better.

Moreover, dark chocolate also contains anti-oxidants and a number of important vitamins and minerals such as potassium.

However, too much chocolate can rapidly increase the calories consumed, which ultimately may reduce the positive effects it can have.

Water

Such a simple idea, but water is incredibly effective. A huge percentage of our bodies are made up of water so it is perhaps no wonder that we can struggle to function if we do not consume an adequate amount of water.

Dehydration can occur relatively quickly and one of the first parts to be affected is the brain.

Without adequate water, it can be hard to think clearly and mental fatigue can quickly set in.

Green Tea

When you feel like you need a caffeine hit, most people reach for the coffee.

By the time, you add sugar and milk, the calories can soon add up and there may not be so much of a positive effect. As an alternative, opt for the green tea instead.

Not only is it better for your waistline, but it contains caffeine, which will help with your focus and concentration.

In addition, green tea is rich in anti-oxidants, which helps to protect the brain cells.

Bananas

Bananas are a simple and easy snack to consume, even for those people on the go.

Studies have shown that students who consume bananas before an exam performed much better than those who did not.

Bananas contain high levels of potassium, an essential brain chemical.

Potassium helps to keep your brain and nerve cells in top working order.

Combine this with other foods listed above and you should never be short of focus or concentration again.

Consider Your Diet

If you typically live on junk and processed food and find yourself struggling with focus and concentration, then consider eating these power foods and in general changing your diet to include more healthy whole food, it can really do wonders for your brain.
