When it comes to learning, the brain performs at its best - and that requires a great deal of energy. We asked around at the GoStudent tutoring and revealed which foods should definitely be on the menu when studying.

With caffeine and sugar, at best, a short-term concentration boost can be achieved before the energy level drops back into the basement. In order to support the brain in its “hard work”, one should instead rely on certain high-quality foods that increase concentration and performance and also provide perfect support for extended learning marathons. The optimal "fuel" for the gray cells are vitamins, minerals and complex carbohydrates. With these healthy snacks, students get a taste for their studies:
Trail mix:
The popular snack doesn't bear its name for nothing: the classic combination of nuts and dried fruits counteracts stress and increases the ability to concentrate. Nuts contain a lot of protein, which the body needs to produce important messenger substances for the brain, and thanks to their high content of healthy fats and vitamin E they help to improve memory. Not only students benefit from this, but also schoolchildren.
Omega 3 Suppliers:
Foods high in omega-3 fatty acids are also considered effective brain foods. Walnuts, but also fatty types of fish such as salmon, tuna and mackerel support brain function.
Fruit:
Not only does the palate enjoy fresh fruit, but also the brain. There is a favorite snack for every taste: Bananas are an excellent source of energy and are considered natural mood enhancers. Dark berries - especially blueberries - increase the ability to think thanks to the coloring they contain and protect the brain from harmful free radicals. Apples are also full of valuable nutrients and thus land at the top of our brain food hit list.
Green vegetables:
Those who like broccoli have a clear advantage when studying. The dark green relative of cauliflower contains a lot of vitamin K and is therefore good for memory. The brain can cope with any difficult task with iron-rich spinach - Popeye already knew about the strength of the green leafy vegetable.
Dark chocolate:
Don't worry - if you want to do something good for your brain, you can also grab sweets in between. Dark chocolate is good for memory and protects the brain from premature aging. The contained flavonoids promote blood circulation and production of the brain cells and thus ensure a quick performance boost. When buying, the higher the cocoa content, the better.
By the way: The tutors from GoStudent ensure even more concentration while learning - with regular study breaks, adaptation to the learning rhythm of the students and comprehensive individual support. All information and the option to book a free trial lesson can be found at www.gostudent.org.
