Foods and Vitamins that improve your brain function. 
​ 
Nuts/Seeds- Rich in beneficial fats, vitamins B, E, and magnesium which are essential to 
cognitive function. 
Eggs- Selenium is in organic eggs which is proven to improve your mood. Eggs also have choline 
a nutrient to help boost memory, and fire electrical signals. 
Avocados - Help create a healthy blood flow which is a requirement for a healthy brain 
Wheat- Has zinc which helps with the thinking process, and facilitates protection from aging, and 
forgetfulness. Whole grains are some of the best brain foods. 
Spinach- Is high in Iron which carries oxygen to the brain cells, and aids in the formation of 
neurotransmitters which effect attention and learning 
Kale- Rich in vitamin B6, which helps convert tryptophan into niacin and seratonin. 
Broccoli- Also high in B6, and is a great source of Vitamin K which enhances cognitive function, and 
improves brain power. 
Wild Salmon- Rich in omega-3 fatty acids which lower blood pressure, reduce blood clots, 
increase immune function and decreases triglycerides. Studies suggest this substance may 
protect against depression.  
Amino acids- are converted into neurotransmitters which help repair brain damage. 
Omega 3's- help to reverse dopamine, and serotonin loss 
Milk thistle- greatly improves liver function​
