IS YOUR BRAIN HUNGRY?

When necessary and appropriate, we try to educate our students about foods that help us learn.  Some foods - like blueberries, broccoli, oranges, and pumpkin seeds - have antioxidants that help protect our brains from damage.  Tea (green tea, in particular) and coffee fall into this category, as well.  Other foods - like eggs and nuts - contain nutrients that support brain development and memory, which are critical for learning.  We have to admit that our favorite brain-healthy food is dark chocolate!  It has caffeine, antioxidants, and flavonoids that enhance memory and also boost our mood.  Best of all, it's yummy!
