Brain Foods for the Healthy Singer

Brain foods for the healthy singer

When you think of becoming smarter, you probably think about…

  • Studying hard
  • Doing lots of math
  • Putting in tons of time and effort

But what if I told you that you could get smarter by eating?

Doesn’t sound too bad, does it?

If you choose your foods wisely, you’ll find it can make a significant difference to your brain function and overall mental performance.

Read on to see which brain foods we recommend for healthy singers!

Here are some of our favorite brain foods…

Oily Fish

Oily fish is absolutely crucial for optimum brain health. Why? Because it contains omega 3 fatty acid.

Omega 3 benefits our brain in two ways. Firstly, omega 3 fatty acid can be used to build cell walls. When omega 3 helps out our cell wall formulation, less materials get replaced. In turn, this results in brain cells that are more flexible, more fluid, and less likely to become damaged.

Better yet, this also increases “cell membrane permeability.” In simple English, this means that neurotransmitters, nutrients and key signals will pass through the cell walls more easily, allowing for speedier transmissions and improved communication across synapses.

On top of all this, omega 3 fatty acid also fights inflammation. Inflammation is actually a big deal in the brain, where pro-inflammatory cytokines can cause serious damage if left to their own devices. Brain inflammation is probably responsible for brain fog, so this is a quick and effective brain upgrade.

Eggs

Eggs contain all of the essential amino acids that humans need to thrive. This means that it contains all the proteins that are used to build muscle, skin, bone and neurochemicals.

But what eggs also contain is choline. Choline is a chemical precursor to acetylcholine, meaning that it is what the brain uses in order to synthesize that ingredient. This is important for us, because acetylcholine is the primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain alongside glutamate. This means it is used in many important operations and particularly when it comes to memory!

Avocado

Avocado is a healthy saturated fat, which is important because the brain is largely made from fat. It’s also another source of omega 3 fatty acid.

But what is most exciting of all is that it contains lutein – a carotenoid that used to be known primarily for its eye-health benefits but which has since come to be seen as a powerful cognitive enhancer and energy booster!

12 Ways Parents Can Help An Only Child Not Feel Lonely

Having an only child gives you a mature, diligent, and conscientious little perfectionist—but it also comes with some tough parenting moments. 

Fifty years ago, people frequently saw only children as socially anxious, shy, pampered, and lonely. However, the tide has shifted, and as the percentage of only children increases, their status in society has risen. According to the Pew Research Center, 22% of youngsters lacked siblings once their mothers reached the end of childbearing age in 2015, compared with 11% in 1967.

Families come in all shapes and sizes. There are families with more than 12 children, and others with none. A small family differs dramatically from a large one and, consequently, comes with an entirely different set of challenges and rewards.

Being an only child has many advantages, but there are disadvantages, too.

Does being an only child mean you are destined to be lonely?

Definitely Not! It’s important to understand that not having more children isn’t hurting your only child and isn’t destined to be lonely, pampered, or spoiled.

As a parent, there is much you can do to help your child adapt to being an only child and suffer less loneliness.
