Foods such as chocolate, celery, fish, and berries help support active thought processes and concentration during the day.
It is well known that that during the working day there are periods when mental activity begins to weaken – at such moments there are problems with concentration and the ability to concentrate, people feel a decrease in tone, a state of “brain fog”. Nutritionist Elena Sviridova said in an interview that appropriate food can be a stimulant of cognitive activity during the day.
The specialist named red fish as one of the products to improve concentration.
“Red fish is a source of fatty acids and iodine, which have a positive effect on the nervous system, brain function and concentration,” said Sviridova, talking with Izvestia.
The expert believes that another product that can “pump” cognitive functions celery: its positive effect is explained by the presence of a complex of vitamins important for neuronal processes (celery contains vitamins A, E, B, K). In addition, cocoa-rich chocolate provides brain support, as does cocoa itself in the form of a drink.

“Bitter chocolate promotes the release of serotonin and endorphins, which help to maintain attention,” the nutritionist clarified.
Coffee and berries (specifically blueberries) also activate the brain. Speaking about coffee, Sviridova advised not to abuse its quantity – an excess of caffeine only contributes to nervous and mental exhaustion. As for blueberries, a handful of this berry in the daily diet not only improves concentration during the day, but also contributes to stress resistance, protecting the brain from age-related decline.
