5 foods you need to fuel your brainpower

Did you know that food can impact your concentration, productivity, and performance? Whether you want to improve your nutrition for the new school year or stay focused during your study sessions, paying attention to your diet is a smart move. Stock up on these brain-fueling items before your next study session.
1. Nuts
Walnuts and almonds make excellent study fuel. The fats in the nuts are tied to healthy brain cell reproduction.
2. Berries
Berries are rich in brain-friendly antioxidants. Put some blueberries in a sandwich bag and freeze them for a refreshing snack when your mind gets weary.
3. Grains
Healthy carbs like oatmeal or whole-grain bread are associated with increased serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps you relax and focus.
4. Fish
When you need a quick dose of serious fuel, open a can of tuna or salmon. The acids in fatty fish are connected to stronger brain activity and brighter moods.
5. Peppermint candy
Peppermint is linked to recall. Pair a peppermint candy or cup of tea with Quizlet’s Learn mode, which is designed for active recall. With that combo, you can get even the most slippery concepts to stick.

I remember my teacher giving us peppermint candies before a test. I definitely will be trying that one!
I heard that dried fruit is also good for you brain fruits like: Raisins, apricots, prunes and dates. With less moisture, dried fruits contain less vitamin C than their fresh counterparts, but pack a bigger punch in terms of fiber, potassium and copper. The concentrated levels of nutrients in dried fruit helps heal damaged brain cells.
sounds great
good to know, Thx
Thanks for the needed information

eating berries while studying is better than anything else in the world tbh
Didn't know bout the peppermint. Will def try!

This might be helpful, I am going to get used to taking all of the above. I've been using only two frequently.

I really like when Quizlet sends me study tips and tricks like this
Definitely didn't know about fish, or frozen blueberries! I heard gum helps you concentrate too. Good article! During my 4th grade final, my class got peppermint candies, and I got perfect scores in reading and writing. Definitely helps! I'm going to go try freezing berries now. xD
Number one, nuts, really? dont you think thats kind sussy imposter among us... might try this next legue of legends match so i can get max concetration you know what im saying. Now touch grass+ratio+unsubscribing+not helpful
probably need some more protein in the list. The brain uses glucose primarily, but you need proteins in order to keep the insulin from spiking or you will be high and lowing all study shesh.

Eating rosemary or smelling rosemary oil helps me with focus which in turn helps with memory
Bears must have really great recall.
I like nuts
Why does Quizlet keep changing? It's very difficult to keep changing study habits. For example, it used to be that you could easily print off flashcards and a glossary of terms with a free account, yet now, print essentially prints off a screenshot of the set page. Why? Money? You were helping million of students, and I wouldn't be surprised if you have lost many. Also, the Learn feature used to be so much smarter and better, and I don't care if it takes longer to load up. It used to give you a variety of questions, but instead now it repeats a question if you get it wrong, and after answering correctly the next time from short-term memory, it stops asking the question, meaning that it doesn't go into long-term memory. Why Quizlet? Why? At least let some of the OGs use the old systems with the click of a button. Please.
thanks this is great. I will try the berries
Thank you for this list!!
I will deffinitly try this. Thank you sir for this blog. Now I shall hop off.
Interesting!
Nice good Idea Will try it!
Ill try it

no
I ate a lot of nuts and i would pack them for snack and study while eating during snack. It helped. 100 on metric conversion, 100 on northeastern states and capitols, 100 on southeastern states and capitols. I've always wanted peppermint candy. Now I have a reason for my mom to buy some! I agree with anonomys21 I think dried fruit would help but also lavender essential oil is very calming and a calm mind definitely helps me learn. Maybe it would help other people learn? I like study mode but I don't like flashcards so i just skip through the flashcards but often I have to change the setting on learn mode because it's hard for me to type the exact answer like I remember in 3rd grade I was reading By The Great Horn Spoon with the class and someone made flashcards on it because we were having a quiz about it and it was, How many friends did so and so and so and so meet on this journey? I wrote the answers but the person just said ... so maybe the flashcards could be helpful?
chocolate is also very helpful with concentrating i know that the brand Endangered Animal chocolate (every chocolate u buy they donate $5 or something to help endangered animals so no, the chocolate is NOT made of endangered animals which I thought it was at first...) which is a sort of delicious dark chocolate I think would work. Light chocolate is sweeter and tastier, but I think dark chocolate helps more.
lol
I used to have a bunch of peppermint candies with me during a exam or test. That soon ended when our teacher told us " no more eating during tests, these test that ya'll handed in last time where disgusting. There where crumbs and sticky spots all over them" lucky for me I was not there when they handed in that test that she explained I was on vacation.
oiii sounds good imma try out nuts with tea
This help a lot! I usually have most of these foods when I’m doing school or any productive, except for fish 😬
The best thing that I do that I love very much is pistachios, raisins, cranberries, animal crackers, and even a few chocolate chips. It's a great snack that will help you keep thinking.
That is so cool I will try all of that stuff
PEPPERMINT WORKS SO WELL!!! I HAD MIDTERMS IN GEOMETRY AND I ACED THEM CAUSE I USED QUIZLET LEARN AND ATE MINTS!!!!! PS- QUIZLET LEARN IS AMAZING!!!!
