Motherhood is a journey best travelled with friends.

One of the things that can enhance the memory would be food. Now why would we even consider this as important?

Memory is a thinking process for recalling information among others. This is one of the many thinking processes that we need, that our children need too, when we face the day’s challenges.

So what does this mean? It means we should eat more of these kinds of food so that we can improve our memory skills. Ahem, there’s no denying we have these “duh!” moments or memory gap moments or, sige na nga, senior moments then :D

Do you have these in your lunchboxes?

  • Foods rich in B vitamins and folic acid (dark leafy greens, strawberries and melons, beans and legumes among others)
  • Antioxidants like vitamin C, E and beta carotene (berries, nuts, green tea, sweet potatoes among others)
  • Omega-3 fatty acids (from fish, walnuts and flaxseed among others)
