Berries

A recent Nutrients study found drinking a mixed-berry smoothie allowed people to maintain focus for longer, especially when performing tasks that required concentration and attention. Consider starting your day with a berry smoothie to help sustain improved cognitive performance. 

Green Tea and Matcha

Green tea contains many components that can lead to better cognitive function. The caffeine in green tea not only helps to wake you up, it also helps you focus. Other compounds in green tea like L-theanine and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) can stabilize your mood, make you more resilient to stress, and improve cognitive performance.

Matcha, a type of green tea, has a higher absorption rate of the helpful chemicals in green tea, making you calmer and more alert after drinking a cup. 

So next time you are creating your grocery list add berries and green tea or visit Blue Lake to purchase their memory chocolates for better focus.
