Six Superfoods for Spring That Increase Focus

super-foods-for-focusStaying on task and maximizing the level of efficiency can be difficult year round, but as Spring and Summer quickly approach, some of us struggle to maintain that laser-like focus either while job searching, or at our current place of employment. When it comes time to hone in and focus on a project at work, most guys reach for another shot of black coffee to stay sharp throughout the day. As effective as this can be, a better long-term approach is reaching for super foods to keep you at your best. Here is a list of 6 Spring Time superfoods.

1 .Avocado- The monounsaturated fats in avocado help support information-carrying nerves in the brain.

2 .Salmon- With a full load of omega-3 fatty acids, salmon provides the fuel to sustain concentration during long periods of work. The omega-3 fatty acids are the building blocks for increasing brain networking and sharpening cognitive function.

3. Leafy Greens- Leafy green vegetables such as spinach, kale, and collard greens are not only high in antioxidants, but also full of the B vitamin folate. Folate may keep your brain sharp.

4. Blueberries- One cup delivers 14% of your daily fiber, and fiber satiates you. Keeping your hunger level steady is key to maintaining focus.

5. Fruit and Nut Trail Mix- Combining your favorite nuts and fruit creates an ideal combination of nutrients to stabilize energy levels that support quality focus. The fat provides long-term sustainable energy while the fruit offers quick energy. Together, they keep you in the zone.

6. Peanuts- Peanuts offer a one-two punch to fuel focus by providing both fiber and more than 30 essential vitamins and minerals. Among these is vitamin E, considered an antioxidant-containing nutrient to prevent diseases of the brain and central nervous system

Spring is in the air, and staying focused and healthy has never been quite so delicious!
