What is Good Brain Food?
It's possible to boost alertness, memory and stress resistance by supplying food components that are precursors of important brain neurotransmitters. One of them is choline, the fat-like B vitamin found in eggs. Studies show that choline supplementation enhances memory and reaction time in animals, especially aging animals. It also enhances memory in people. Choline supplementation also minimizes fatigue. In one study, choline given during a 20-mile run improved running time by a significant amount..
Mood and mental performance are powerfully influenced by the B vitamins. Unfortunately, marginal deficiency in many B vitamins is widespread in North America.
Research has identified some other ways to influence mental performance:
• Sugar can make you sharp -- although no one can figure out what is the right dose at the right time.
• Carbohydrates -- especially when eaten with no protein or fat -- may indeed be mentally soothing. Muzak for the mind. There are times when we all need some of that.

Absoulotely! Your brain requires nutrition just as any other part of your body. Make a conserted effort to eat healthy, and take notes on how you feel everyday and I'm sure you will see a correlation between your energy and brain power, to focus , concentrate and remember things. Something as simple as drinking enough water , dehydration has been shown to limit your brains ability to remember things.

I dont think food has anything to do with it but that doesnt mean live on junk food. Taking good care of your body will mean you will be healthy and will be able to concentrate on your studies more than your tummy.Concentrate more on making sure you get enough sleep and not doing anything that would cause you to not be able to think clearly. I hope I helped.

Well they say that fish is a good food for the brain. So maybe yes. However hard work, and diligent study habits is the only key.

absolutely, the right nutrition is very important for your body functions, including your brain! By the way, peanuts seem to increase the brain capacity

First off, you need to worry about your spelling and grammer before you tackle nutrition.
