Are you taking supplements to boost your brain? 🧠
Your doctor would likely tell you this one important truth:
Brain supplements alone don’t work — a combination of TWO things is crucial
1️⃣ Proper Nutrition (from real food)
No capsule can replace nutrients from a balanced diet. For brain health, your daily food should include:
- Omega-3 fatty acids (walnuts, flaxseeds, fish)
- B-vitamins (whole grains, pulses, green vegetables)
- Antioxidants (berries, amla, turmeric)
- Healthy fats (ghee in moderation, nuts, seeds)
Without this foundation, supplements have very limited effect.
2️⃣ Lifestyle Support (the game-changer)
Doctors emphasize that supplements only show benefits when combined with:
- 7–8 hours of quality sleep (essential for memory and focus)
- Regular physical activity (improves blood flow to the brain)
- Mental stimulation (reading, puzzles, learning new skills)
- Stress control (meditation, deep breathing)
⚠️ A common mistake
Many people rely only on supplements after seeing advertisements. Doctors warn that unnecessary or excessive supplements can even harm the liver and kidneys.
✅ Doctor’s advice in one line:
“Food + lifestyle first; supplements only if there is a proven deficiency.”
