hether it be from a tired mind, busy schedule, multitasking or simply a lack of new ideas, lapses in creativity are all too common. Getting a good night’s sleep or taking a nice long shower can work wonders for some, but for others, it can seem impossible to fight the creative slumps. Luckily, studies show that eating certain foods can actually help boost creativity and innovation. A study by Harvard Medical School revealed a link between eating healthy whole foods and adequate brain function. The study compared the human body to an expensive car — the car can technically function on any fuel but will perform much better if given high-quality fuel. This is similar to how food affects the human brain. The study explained that when you eat foods high in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, it protects the brain from oxidative stress, which can damage brain cells and lead to lowered brain function. Here are various foods that can improve your brain health and creativity.
