4. Coconut Oil
You always have to remember coconut oil, right these are medium-chain fats. This ignites your body’s fat-burning furnace to turn on, and it helps create ketones that fuel your brain.

Number six I would tell green leafy vegetables — so important right green leafy vegetables are your spinach, your kale, your collard greens — these are good sources of vitamin E and folate.

9. Walnuts
Number nine is walnuts, these are high levels of antioxidants, vitamin E protects your neurons, they ward off brain aging conditions, high levels of zinc and magnesium, which are really good for your mood, and being in a good mood is definitely good for your brain performance, and I say the best for last.

I love dark chocolate. This is the most delicious brain booster, helps with your focus, your concentration, it stimulates endorphins which improve your mood again, and generally when it comes to chocolate, I’m thinking the darker, the purer, the better for your brain.
I do want to add number eleven because it’s very important, it’s kind of a given, but I would say water. Just remember to hydrate your brain, your body is about 75% water, and there have been all kinds of studies determining that well-hydrated people score better on brainpower tests compared to people who do not drink enough H2O.
