Do you have any mental problem? There are many foods which are touted to enhance mental potential. However, it is preferable to select those which are lower in cholesterol.

Nutritional goodness of eggs
For breakfast, eating a half-boiled or hard-boiled egg and drinking a cup of milk or soy milk may help to boost brain functions as well as general health. Egg, soybean and, to a lesser extent, milk, contain choline, which is particularly important for brain functions.

Fish and fatty acids
Every cell in the body, including brain cells, is surrounded by a cell membrane composed mainly of fatty acids. The cell membrane allows the proper amounts of necessary nutrients to enter the cell and ensures that wastes are quickly removed.

Plant sources
Do not overlook plants as a source of nutrients for the brain. After studying age-related cognitive change in people above 65 years, scientist Morris M.C. and his team concluded that it is best to eat more vegetables.

Herbal brain soup
Brain tissue consists mainly of protein, fats and minerals. There is a large amount of cholesterol in fats. More than 800mg of cholesterol is found in 100g of pig brain and 2,000mg in ox brain. These are high cholesterol foods. The recommended daily intake of cholesterol for adults is about 300mg.
