9. Meal timing may help you to concentrate more
Keep your brain in tip-top condition by timing your meals and keeping them small. Include small snacks between meals. Focus on healthy eating.
Bingeing on chocolate and high-sugar foods will not help your concentration at all. They give you a sugar rush. For a short period, you’ll feel boosted and able to concentrate. But it won’t last long. Before you know it, the sugar high is over, and you come down from it. This can leave you feeling sluggish and lethargic with your concentration and memory at an all-time low.
Include food rich in zinc and iron, as these compounds improve memory and concentration. They are found in lean red meat, fish, shellfish and chicken. You also get them from whole-grain bread and breakfast cereals.
Omega-3 fats are known as brain food. Tuna, salmon and prawns are rich in omega-3 fats. Eating smaller meals on a regular basis keeps your brain fed with these essential nutrients to keep you functioning at peak levels. If you wait too long between meals, you’ll go through periods in the hours leading up to meals where your concentration will lapse.
