From oily fish to fruit superfoods, it’s a well known fact that the food we eat directly affects the performance of our brains. This week sees the launch of a new collection of brain food recipes, from learndirect, a leading provider of online learning for adults.
To help fuel learning, 14 tasty recipes and tips have been created in conjunction with top TV chef Danny Boome and leading nutritionist Fiona Hunter. Quick and affordable to make, the recipes were inspired by the increasing number of people who choose to take learndirect courses to fit in with their busy lives and work commitments, and want to maintain a healthy diet.
Fiona comments: “If you feed your brain the right nutrients, you will be able to think quicker, retain more information, be better coordinated and have improved concentration. You’ll also see an improvement in your memory and problem-solving abilities. With the right foods, we can also increase our motivation, and this is vital if you are taking a course or learning a new skill.
“With my nutritional expertise and Danny’s culinary skills, we’ve developed a series of seriously tasty brain food recipes, many of which can be eaten on the go, so you can give your brain a boost - whether you’re skilling-up at work, learning online at home, or on the go.”
Examples of some of the recipes:
1. Poached eggs with roasted tomatoes on wholemeal toast
