Secondly, eating a breakfast that contains a good source of protein and complex carbohydrates will keep your blood sugar steady, provide energy, brain power, and set you up for the rest of the day. Stable blood sugar is crucial for good mood too! Some great examples are a veggie omelet, poached eggs on wholegrain toast (if you can tolerate wheat), beef or chicken sausages or fish with veggies or even \u201cdinner-for-breakfast\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>A great easy and delicious option is a \u201c<em>Brain-Power-Good-Mood Smoothie<\/em>\u201d for breakfast? Use \u00bd cup blueberries or raspberries, 1 banana, \u00bc cup full fat coconut milk and water to make up a cup and a scoop of whey protein powder (at least 20g protein).\u00a0 Blend and enjoy! Optional additions are almond butter, plain yogurt (if you are ok with dairy), greens or ground flax seed<br \/> Skip the processed \u201cwhites\u201d like bagels, muffins and donuts.\u00a0 Are you a just-coffee morning person? Try this and let me know how much better your day goes!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Number 2: Blueberries <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>They are phytonutrient superstars! Researchers have found that blueberries help protect the brain from oxidative stress and significantly improve learning capacity. Raspberries, blackberries and strawberries are great too. And go for organic since berries tend to be heavily sprayed with pesticides.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Number 3: Baked salmon<\/strong>.<\/h3>\n<p>Actually, any form of salmon or other wild cold-water oily fish (like sardines or mackerel) that has a high concentration of omega-3 fats, is needed for optimal performance of the human brain \u2013 both physically and mentally.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.everywomanover29.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/blueberries.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-103\" title=\"blueberries\" src=\"https:\/\/www.everywomanover29.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/blueberries.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"blueberries for brain power\" width=\"300\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.everywomanover29.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/blueberries.jpg 638w, https:\/\/www.everywomanover29.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/blueberries-300x226.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you need extra brain power to get you through your day, read on to learn three easy additions that will make a huge difference to your day\u2026and will go a long way to ending your anxiety and improving your overall mood!
