Mixed dried fruits – energy booster

Raisins provide potassium, which helps your body convert sugar into stored energy. The dried fruit mix adds magnesium to your body, which boosts metabolism, enhances nerve function, and increases muscle activity. When magnesium levels are low, your body produces less lactic acid, which makes you feel tired when working, and makes you feel less focused and sluggish in your activities.

Flaxseed – improves mood

Flaxseed is a source of omega-3 that helps protect bones, fight inflammation, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) - a healthy fat that improves nervous system activity such as the brain, stimulates the brain to process information, balances emotions, and improves mood. Along with other minerals such as manganese, fiber, magnesium, folate, phosphorus, vitamin B6... you can add flaxseed to salads, mix it into smoothies or use ground seeds to increase absorption.

Coffee – improves short-term memory

Caffeine in coffee has been shown to slow the aging process and boost short-term memory performance. British researchers found that the amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee improved problem-solving skills, making people more alert and efficient. In addition to helping people feel more alert, a morning cup of coffee helps fight oxidation in the American diet and can reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's by 60%.

You should choose the right type/product of coffee and check the nutritional composition to suit your diet, limit sugary coffees or sweet creams that provide extra fat that is not good for the body.

Blueberries – productivity, long-term memory protection

The antioxidants in blueberries help protect the brain, reduce the risk of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, and improve the efficiency of receiving and processing information. Add blueberries to your mid-afternoon snack or eat them before meals, and you will see the surprising effects they bring.

Low/nonfat yogurt or mixed dried fruit

Scientists in Slovakia tested volunteers by giving them 3 grams of the amino acids lysine and arginine and then measuring their blood levels. Scientists found that increasing the amino acid group helped the body reduce stress and anxiety hormones. Yogurt is one of the best food sources of lysine, while nuts are rich in arginine.

So, follow a healthy diet and you will achieve a healthy body and a well functioning mechanism.
