Brain Boosting Food- Kids

hs2009 · Jul 1, 2013

Hello Mommies,

Can you please suggest food items- fruits, vegetables which I can include in my DD's diet ( she is four years old) for brain development- stronger memory. My DD is not a great eater, we are non vegetarian and she does not have any allergies.

If you do something special like incorporate some ingredients in your child's daily diet please share. This would be helpful to all who refer this thread.

Himaani anything rich in vitamin E & A is a brain food.like almonds, brahmi....
I give almonds crushed in paranthas to my son and in roasted form.
Brahmi is a small plant and the juice of its leaves is said to improve memory.All this is what i have from elders in the family
Though i personally feel that neurons and its connections are formed while the baby is still inside the womb.So trying to increase them is of no use....
BUT you can sharpen your memory by repeating or writing down things and also by playing memory improving games.Alot many of it are now available as apps in mobiles too.They help in increasing concentration,memory and also improve our observing powers.
