The brain is the main part of the body. However, sometimes it is overlooked. We usually recommend and add food items in our daily diet that help with weight loss, or prefer to eat foods that address any of our health problems. But, foods for the brain are usually not part of our daily diet, and so as we get older, our productivity, memory, and efficiency begin to get disrupted. A good diet also has a connection to the health of the brain because the functioning of the whole body is connected to the brain.

So, if you are having trouble remembering something or cannot focus on the day-to-day events, or you feel that other people are faster and smarter than you, then all these clearly indicate that your brain is not getting enough nutrients to function properly and that you are not using your abilities as it should be. To keep your mind active and sharp, you should include a balanced diet focusing on brain boosting foods.

In today's life, more and more people are aware that maintaining a healthy body is very important, one of which is maintaining the health of the brain. The brain is an important organ that also has an important role to control other bodily functions.

At times, most people do not realize that the food you consume daily contains good nutrition for the body, one of which is your brain. Spices that we use daily in the kitchen for cooking our day to day food, also proved to have benefits to help improve the performance of the human brain.

Here are seven food items that you can include in your daily diet to enhance your brain health and improve the brain function.

1. Ginger:
