With increasing exposure to processed foods and unhealthy dietary options, it becomes more important to be aware of your food intake in today's society. Did you know that a healthy diet boosts your brainpower? Here are five of the best eats that improve your concentration and memory.
Louisa, I love the topic of your infographic! It is especially exciting that I now have a valid excuse to eat dark chocolate! :-) The PTC is so fortunate to have you join our elite group. Thank you for making such valuable contributions to our program.

This article was very informative and interesting. I have heard about dark chocolate being a super food but learning about the other foods was exciting. I thought it was especially interesting how broccoli can slow the breakdown of ACH, or acetylcholine in the brain. Who knew that broccoli actually improved memory? Thank you for taking the time to create this article. I found it very informative and helpful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the informative article Louisa! This was a great Piktochart and you provided such valuable information! Who knew that such simple, everyday foods could be so beneficial for our memory! With chocolate on the list, I am definitely on board!! Thank you so much for providing this information!
ReplyDeleteLouisa, I learned so much here! I am all over the blueberries and dark chocolate:) Thank you for your hard work!
ReplyDeleteLouisa, as a type 2 diabetic, I am always concerned about my diet. Not only do these 5 foods help with memory and concentration, they help to lower blood sugar levels...maybe, not the dark chocolate, but a sampling of dark chocolate every now and then...in moderation can't hurt. Thanks for sharing this important information as "we are what we eat!"
ReplyDeleteI love your graphic, Louisa! It is so colorful and easy to understand. Thanks for all the extra details, including the science that backs up this good food information. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI really liked reading this post. It's very information regarding good foods for a healthy diet, most of those foods are ones I eat on a daily basis! However, eating sunflower seeds with the seasoning is not the best, since the added salt can cause some dehydration if you don't drink any water. I do love the visuals you added, it's kind of cute!
ReplyDeleteAs a Health and PE teacher, I found your blog very interesting on several levels. I loved the graphics and the information was not only correct but well written. Thanks for doing the research and sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis article is so well done. Not only does it look nice, but it is super informative as well. It's nice to be reminded of the foods we should eat from time to time. Isn't it amazing to see how what we put into our bodies can really affect our performance and behavior?!
ReplyDeleteLouisa, I am so glad to see this information. Sometimes students need directives on more than tutoring related directly to their content in class, and need life skills as well. This is very informative and will help students understand healthy/good foods to eat when preparing for testing or studying for class.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful article! It is amazing how much better our bodies feel/work/think when we feed them good fuel! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat article! Our bodies definitely work better when we fuel with good food. I loved all of the tidbits you included. It makes a difference in the way we think and work when we eat the right foods.
ReplyDeleteGreat article. I really enjoyed the visuals of the healthy items that can be eaten along with the information about why each food item is beneficial to your health. I am a big fan of dark chocolate at it has good benefits for your heart and blood flow but didn't know that it can help with awareness as well which I thought was interesting.
ReplyDeleteHi Louisa,
ReplyDeleteThis is great information! I am always trying to stress to my students how important their diet is, especially gearing up toward test days (very relevant with the AP tests bearing down on us). I will definitely be sharing this with all of my students. They will love to see that dark chocolate made the list. Eating well can be quite tasty if you know what you're doing. Thanks!
Louisa, thanks so much for this awesome information. I think we all tend to neglect the impact of diet on other aspects of our lives - even academics! I'll keep these in mind for test day snacks for my students.

ReplyDeleteExcellent article, Louisa! I think this would be a fantastic topic to start a conversation about dietary choices and the impact of good and bad choices on our well-being. Heather is correct, sometimes we do neglect this aspect of our lives.
DeleteI battled cancer in 2013 & 2014 and I really believe it all started because of my poor diet and overweight struggles. I am so health conscious now especially when it comes to what my kids eat. I believe that sugar is extremely destructive and it does not help with brain power. It makes lids lethargic and causes attention problems. Great article! I hope people listen!
ReplyDeleteLouisa,
ReplyDeleteI think the food we eat is SO important; though sometimes I struggle with actually following through with eating these healthy "brain" foods! Wonderful article!
I LOVE this! Nutrition is so important and often something we don't think about when it comes to studying or doing school work! Students and educators should be knowledgeable on how nutrition, or lack thereof, effects learning.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this post Louisa! Great information. I have always been interested in nutrition and I try to promote that in my students. I have provided information for them before, but this is well organized and the graphics makes it interesting. I'm definitely sharing with my students!:)
ReplyDeleteThis is so interesting! I love learning about how food affects our lives every day. I also happen to love all 5 of those foods. :)
ReplyDeleteFood is fuel for everything we do, including academics! Thanks for the reminder about how certain foods impact our learning (and the reminder that chocolate is, in moderation, GOOD for you)!
ReplyDeleteLouisa, what a neat article! I have noticed that students respond well to eating snacks with nuts and berries, and who doesn't LOVE an excuse to eat chocolate, right!?!? :)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading the food that is considered to give individuals brain power. This article is important for adults to read as well. As a teacher I always need to be creative, open to new ideas, and interactive with my students; therefore healthy eating is essential to being a successful teacher.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see this original write up and infographic, really well done and a great way to deliver the information!
ReplyDeleteI will most certainly be eating these foods more often. I'd do anything to keep me focused and awake.
ReplyDeleteSunflower seeds are good for you to eat while playing sports.
ReplyDeleteThis information was nice to here, now when I eat healthy I know I will be benefiting my academic and physical performance as a student athlete.
ReplyDeleteDark Chocolate?! Yay! Any excuse to eat chocolate is a good one! In all seriousness, this was a great article and very helpful! Thanks for the information!
