Doctors at Harvard University recommended including dark chocolate, bananas, blueberries, apples and chili peppers in the daily diet. These foods, they say, help maintain focus and steady energy levels. Infobae quotes the words of experts.
Experts recommend consuming dark chocolate in small portions. It contains dietary fiber, as well as flavonoids, caffeine, and theobromine, which help maintain alertness and cognitive function.
Experts also recommended to include bananas in the diet. Thanks to their natural sugars and complex carbohydrates, they provide an affordable source of energy.
Doctors also recommend eating blueberries, apples and chili peppers regularly. These foods are rich in antioxidants (particularly anthocyanins) that help improve blood circulation to the brain, support mental clarity, and increase mental alertness. Apples contain fiber and vitamin C, which stabilize energy levels and strengthen the immune system.
Green tea and plain water are preferred beverages.
“Green tea contains moderate amounts of caffeine and L-theanine, an amino acid that improves concentration without increasing anxiety. It also contains catechins, antioxidants that promote cellular health and reduce the risk of chronic diseases,” Harvard experts say.
