BREAKFAST, Your path to maintaining laser-sharp focus begins in the kitchen. Eating certain foods at breakfast will boost that mental energy you need throughout the day. You really need a combination at breakfast time. So, if you could create a meal that has a balance of essential fatty acids and protein, and also a complex carb for fiber, youre well on your way.. And what does that ideal breakfast look like? A meal thats as simple as it is powerful. An example would be Greek yogurt for the protein, but then throw in some oats or high-fiber cereal. Top that with some flax seeds, and that would be a great thing to start with. If you really want to get more benefit, you could even put berries on top for the antioxidants. Each element in that particular breakfast, she adds, plays an important role in helping you stay sharp and focused. The antioxidants, specifically, will reduce inflammation, which... could be the cause of brain fog. The complex carbs... it takes your body longer to digest them, so its a slow release of energy, unlike a quick sugar rush. And those essential fats, they are great for keeping the nerve impulses firing strong in the brain. If youre looking for something a little more substantial, think breakfast sandwich. You could get a whole wheat English muffin or some sprouted bread, and you could top that with eggs and avocado. if you want even more benefit, I would say pay the extra dollar and get the eggs that are fortified with the Omega-3 fats.
