5.Chocolate
If you’re looking for an excuse to chow down on your favourite treat, look no further. Dark chocolate is rich in brain-boosting chemicals, called flavonoids, which can enhance your cognitive skills by inducing the creation of new neurons in the brain and improving their ability to form new memories, as well as improving blood flow to the brain. One study of adult women found that when given flavonoid-rich chocolate drinks, the blood flow to participants’ brains increased within two hours and they performed better on a complex mental task.

Research led by a cognitive psychologist at Hiroshima University found that looking at pictures of cute animals helped participants to focus their attention more effectively on tasks.
