A friend just sent this to me (thanks, Pat!)…
The following are twelve foods essential for brain health
recommended by Dr. Daniel Amen on his PBS special “Change Your
Brain, Change Your Life“:
Avocados, blueberries, broccoli, green tea, oatmeal, oranges,
red peppers, spinach, tuna, turkey, walnuts, and salmon
Happy eating!
Dr. Ben
P.S. Here’s a quote on focus that really impacted me and
others I partner with this week from internet business coach
Rich Schefren:
“Focus , more than discipline, willpower, and even intelligence,
will determine how successful you’ll be. Period.”
Great reminder for all areas of our life!
Dr. Ben
Thanks for sharing this list! I had heard about fish in general being good brain food a while ago. When I was in graduate school I tried a little experiment of my own. On test days I always tried to eat tuna a few hours before the test. I noticed higher grades on those tests than tests taken on days when I couldn’t eat tuna.
Later when I became a teacher I encouraged my students to eat tuna on test days. (I wasn’t able to track those results but at least I was able to encourage my students and eventually my own kids.)
thanks Ben the quote on ” Focus, more than discipline..” really resonates with me at this present time! did you get the exceprt from a book? or where?? would love to read more about dicisipline and focus in the future.
tx as always for your insights
