Foods that optimize intelligence

Colored fresh fruits and vegetables
Pumpkins, tomatoes, oranges, grapefruit ... orange and red fruits and vegetables are full of beta-carotene, a pigment that turns into vitamin A once absorbed by the stomach. Vitamin A is used to clean the body, and in our head. Indeed, it is an antioxidant vitamin, which means it attacks free radicals, these toxic substances that damage our cells. Whether or not they are colored, fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals, which help fight fatigue and stress. But be careful not to boil them, they risk losing their virtues (unless you plan to consume the water then cooking). It is better to cook them with steam or in foil.
