Founders, managers, creatives...
You need to make sure you eat well.
Because your diet does more than just fuel your day.
It shapes how sharp you’ll be in the years ahead.
Regardless of what kind of professional you are..
We all rely on our brains the way athletes rely on their bodies.
So why do so many of us treat food as an afterthought?
I look at nutrition as cognitive insurance.
The choices you make now can help you start clear and focused for decades to come.
And all it takes is simple swaps with real foods.
These are some everyday foods that support brain performance and long-term protection:
🐟 Fatty Fish
↳ Reduce inflammation and support memory
- Salmon
- Sardines
- Mackerel
- Anchovies
🥬 Leafy Greens
↳ Slow decline + keep your mind sharper, longer
- Kale
- Spinach
- Romaine
- Swiss chard
🥜 Nuts & Seeds
↳ Feed your neurons + support structure and focus
- Brazil nuts ✅ (selenium is key for brain resilience)
- Cashews
- Almonds
- Chia seeds
🫐 Berries
↳ Fight decline + antioxidants for focus and protection
- Blueberries
- Blackberries
- Acai
- Raspberries
🧠 Other Brain Boosters
↳ Fuel mood, memory and repair
- Eggs
- Avocados
- Dark chocolate
- Green tea (matcha)
None of these are “superfoods”.
They’re just smart foods that are accessible and worth making part of your routine.
Remember...
What you eat today shapes the quality of your thinking tomorrow.
Which of these are already part of your regular diet?
