The Top 5 Foods to Boost Concentration

We’ve all struggled to stay alert at some point in our lives. Whether it’s due to tiredness or constant distraction, it’s quite annoying not being able to focus on anything.

So, before you get completely behind with work and start panicking, it might be worth rethinking what you put inside your body. Unfortunately, there’s no quick fix or miracle juice that will give you ninja-level concentration skills. However, there are a variety of healthy foods that will help to level up your concentration.

If you are in desperate need of boosting your productivity and aren’t quite getting the Z’s you need, then these foods will help you out.

The Top 5 Foods to Boost Concentration

Oatmeal

You know what they say, breakfast is the most important meal of the day after all! While you may be tempted to eat a doughnut or sugary cereal for breakfast, if you’re looking to boost your concentration, oatmeal is the way to go.

Oatmeal is low in calories and will keep you feeling full for longer, meaning that you will no longer get distracted around 11 a.m., daydreaming of food!

Dark Chocolate

If you eat dark chocolate, not only is an excuse to eat chocolate, but it’s also good for you, too! Dark chocolate boosts serotonin and endorphin levels, making you feel happier and able to concentrate much more easily. Dark chocolate also packs full of vitamins and minerals that are extremely good for you, with a much lower fat content than milk chocolate.

A 2013 study found that people who drank two cups of cocoa daily for a month improved blood flow to the brain, performing better on memory tests. So, if you have hit that afternoon slump, you might want to reach for that dark chocolate to boost concentration.

Salmon

Salmon is a highly concentrated source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are excellent for rebuilding brain cells, slowing cognitive decline and strengthening brain synapses, which aid memory. In other words, salmon is an incredible food to maximize your brain power, and if you want to concentrate, then you might want to load up on it!

Salmon is also delicious and can work in any meal. You can’t go wrong eating this healthy superfood!

Green Tea

Many of us feel drained and struggle to concentrate by midday, at which point we reach for the coffee, but this can leave us feeling jittery, and the added sugar content isn’t great for our daily calorie intake.

Green tea does contain a modest amount of caffeine but not enough to make you crash later on in the day. However, the drink does increase mental alertness and focus. For an afternoon pick-me-up, green tea is the best for concentration!

Beetroot

The dark red beet is brilliant for promoting memory, concentration and helps your brain function at its best! Beets contain certain nitrates that increase blood flow and oxygen to the brain. Consequently, this improves mental performance. Consequently, this improves mental performance.

Beets are easy to add to salads, roasts or juices to help boost your brain health and concentration.

You are What You Eat

The food we eat is hugely important, as our diet can affect our brain, memory and daily concentration. For some people, eating the right diet could mean the difference between life and death. For instance, Alex Honnold from the “Free Solo” documentary needed every ounce of concentration he had to perform such an intense free climb. His dangerous feat required a strict workout regimen, mental discipline and, of course, the right diet! The food he ate was vital for keeping his brain sharp as one lapse in concentration could have led to things going sideways.

If you’re struggling to maintain concentration and feel like brain fog is always descending down on you, then take a look at your diet. If you can change and improve your eating habits, it can work wonders for your productivity. It’s either that or you can try getting your eight hours of sleep every night!

As a LACTUMama, I'm always on the lookout for acti As a LACTUMama, I'm always on the lookout for activities that will help support Twinkle's Immunity, Brain and Bones. Good thing this All Around Development Kit from @Lactum3 arrived over the week, kaya naman ito ang aming bonding activity this weekend!

Ang saya ni Twinkle because it has all the fun exercises and activities she really enjoys doing. We planted Arugula, Mustard, and Alfalfa seeds, painted the post, solved a puzzle, and played Twister. Afterwards, I made sure to give her a glass of cold Vitaminized Lactum 3+ which helps support her all-around development in Immunity, Brain and Bones with proper nutrition and stimulation.
