At the beginning of the school year, parents always look for different ways to help their children, especially in terms of how to strengthen their memory and improve their concentration , and here are several tips to achieve this.
Eating tips
- Sugar is the main food that improves the performance of the different parts of the brain responsible for concentration and thinking. There is a problem that consuming large amounts of refined sugars can cause obesity, so it is better to ingest it naturally through fruits . Oranges, grapes, bananas or apples have the highest proportion of sugar.
- Vitamins are also essential to improve memory by keeping it activated. Eating foods high in vitamin C such as tangerines, oranges, strawberries, kiwi or pineapple are one of the best ways to get them, in addition to having antioxidants and protecting us from colds .
- Apples, bananas, or grapes are also one of the best types of fruits that can be eaten in the morning to increase concentration .
- We must accustom our children to eat a variety of salads , with different types of lettuce and including foods such as cucumbers, carrots or tomatoes, which contain large amounts of antioxidants. We can season it with a sauce, for example cheese, so that it attracts the child more and is more showy.
- Nuts or foods with wheat are foods that help strengthen memory. Giving them a few nuts will be more than enough.
