1. sugar the most preferred source in form of glucose that the body processes from carbohydratesoffers short term boost but too much could also cause harm
2.healthy breakfast: do not dare skip your breakfast as studies have proven that its most probably the most important meal of the day to give you just that extra brain boost and increase mental activity.just remeber to include fruits, dairy and high-fiberwhole grains
3.we alll have a sweet tooth so do not feel bad about taking that piece of chocolate but take only an ounce as it contains anti oxidants and caffeine thats a natural stimulant. nuts and seeds are also rich in anti oxidants vitamin E
4. include fruits llike avocados that lower risk of hear attack and lower cholestrol and enhance blood flow.the monosaturated fats are a plus that soften the skin tone and good moisture level giving you a glowing skin.
5.blue berries are yummy and super nutritious. boost brain activity and reduce effects of age related conditions like dementia.other than that they soften dry skin and prevent cancer
6. then the usual: have a goodnight sleep, stay hydrated and exercise
