Blueberries are rich in antioxidants which help to prevent free radical damages. Blueberries have proved to serve a wide range of functions for improving mental function.

2.      Nuts

Walnuts, peanuts and other nuts contain properties that help in promoting mental clarity, fight insomnia and promote strong memory. Almonds contain natural mood enhancing neurotransmitters while walnuts are very rich in Omega-3 fatty acids.
