Mussels

A great source of vitamin B12, mussels can help insulate the neurons within your brain, keeping your mind sharp!

Swiss Chard

Swiss chard can help facilitate the biochemical reaction in your brain that boosts energy because of the significant levels of magnesium stored in its leaves.

Cherry Tomatoes

Lycopene, found abundantly in cherry tomatoes, is a key nutrient that helps protect the brain and can stop the buildup of pro-inflammatory molecules linked to depression.

Asparagus is packed with tryptophan and folate; both molecules are necessary for the creation of the brain’s mood-regulating neurotransmitters.
