Or more specifically, beef. Dr. Mike Moreno, author of The 17-Day Diet: A Doctor's Plan Redesigned for Rapid Results, created a list of must-have brain enhancing foods. You can read the whole list and article online here.
Number one on the list was BEEF. Beef is high in iron, which improves memory, alertness and attention span. It's also a good source of zinc and protein. For more nutritional facts about beef and how to make it part of a healthy lifestyle check this out.
Other awesome proteins that made the Top 17 were:
#6 - Chicken - High in tyrosine - an amino acid essential for production of the substances epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine which are responsible for alertness.
#9 - Eggs - Boost memory through rich supplies of the B vitamin choline.
#10 - Egg whites - High in protein - help improve alertness and produce norepinephrine.
#13 - Pork - Be inspired by pork's wealth of Vitamin B1 that helps facilitate communication among nerve cells.
#16 - Tuna - Full of omega-3 fatty acids, which help build and maintain myelin that aid in communication among nerve cells.
I've got some more work to do on my thesis, so I think I'm going to load up a plate with beef, pork and chicken and settle in for a night of brainstorming.
Until next time,

Nice one! I didn't even pay attention on nutrition. I was thinking - training is the most important part, but now i know that nutrition is much much more important than training.
