When you eat, it’s not just about fuelling your body, it’s about fuelling your brain too. By choosing the right snacks, you can give yourself a boost of brain power, and increase your productivity throughout the morning or afternoon. We all have those mid-morning or afternoon energy slumps, but the right types of snacks can counteract the effects.
What kind of snacks do you enjoy currently? Is it crisps and chocolate? If so, it’s time to make a switch!
Highly nutritious snacks are ideal for your brain and your focus, which will certainly help you get more out of your daily work.
We’re talking about things like nutrition energy bars, baked crisps (not the fried type), air popped popcorn (without the salt or sweet topping), low fat jerky, granola and nuts, yogurt, bananas, fruit salad, etc. These are easy to snack on items which give you a boost of health and energy too.
Omega 3s, antioxidants, protein, vitamins, these are all things which help to boost your brain power and concentration. As a result, your productivity levels will be through the roof! A healthy mind means a better work performance, and that’s fantastic for both employer and employee.
It’s time to turn away from the crisps and chocolate and think about brain health first of all! Can you think of any other snack ideas we’ve not mentioned?
