  For Healthy & Happy Brain, Backed By Science 

 Today, people are facing an epidemic of chronic brain problems. Around 40 million people in the United States experience anxiety-related disorder. Also around 30 million people suffer from depression. These conditions are quite complex. And the solution to most chronic conditions is to diagnose a disease or symptoms and match it with a corresponding pharmaceutical drug. Below is a list of some uncommon foods that can help develop a healthy and happy brain. 

1. Eggs 

This edible food is great when it comes to your brain. The egg yolk contains the major part of the egg nutrients. Most of the people throw out the yolk portion and only go for white portions, which is bad. The egg yolk is so full of nutrients that are good for your brain that a separate article can be written on that. The yolk is called nature’s multivitamin. Pastured eggs by chickens who stay outside in sunlight provide us essential brain food like choline. Choline has a variety of functions for healthy brain function, including the synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, and cell-membrane signaling, which is needed for all hormone function. Deficiency of choline can be noticed through fatigue, insomnia and memory problems. Pasture-raised eggs should be preferred as they contain 3 times more of the brain beneficial omega-3 fats than supermarket eggs. 

2. Bone Broth 

It is really important to have a healthy gut to have a healthy brain. These two things are linked with each other through nerve pathways. Your gut is called your “Second Brain”. 90% of your feel good hormone called serotonin is made and stored in your gut. The connection between your gut and brain is linked with depression, anxiety and autism. It is necessary to keep your gut healthy in order to keep your brain healthy. Bone broth is the best food that you can have to make your gut healthy. This nutrient-rich liquid is filled with collagen which acts like a healing ointment to a stressed gut. 

3. Coconut Oil 

Coconut oil has got many benefits. One of its amazing benefits is that it keep your brain healthy and sharp.

A study in the journal Neurobiology of Aging suggested that medium-chain triglycerides, like those found in coconut oil, improved cognitive function among older folks with memory problems and Alzheimer's disease.

In the said study cognitive function was immediately improved following ingestion of the medium-chain triglycerides. 

4. Sunlight 

Sunlight is the best natural resource that you can have to improve your brain powers. Sunlight gives enough vitamin D and these days a lot of people are vitamin D deficient. Now days we apply sunscreens and avoid the sun. But it is quite important to go out in the sunlight and do basking. Some people go for sun bath, which is very important for your body and brain. Moderate exposure to sun helps making your endorphins.
