Amazing foods to Feed Your Brain and Improve Your Cognitive Function

-

The food you eat feeds your brain and significantly impacts your ability to think, learn and remember. Here are some of my favourite foods that not only are important to your brain but also to the rest of your body.

Avocados
These little powerhouses are filled with healthy fat, energy and flavour. The nutrients in avocados are important to your brain and skin, and help stabilize your blood sugar. They are part of my diet every day.

Blueberries
High in antioxidants, they protect your brain from neurodegeneration. They are packed with flavour and vitamins. Balance the natural sugars in blueberries by increasing your fiber intake to reduce your net carbs.

Broccoli
High levels of vitamin K and choline in broccoli help protect your brain. Add florets raw to your salad, or steam your broccoli spears for a maximum of 3 to 4 minutes to optimize the sulforaphane content.

Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Olive OilNot all olive oil is created equally, and fraud is commonplace when it comes to olive oil. Look for third-party validated extra-virgin, cold pressed oils to boostyour intake of polyphenols. These powerful antioxidants may improve your learning and memory as well as help to reverse the signs of aging and neuron damage in your brain. Olive oil degrades rapidly at high heat, so add the oil to your salads or vegetables after cooking.

Rosemary
Carnosic acid found in rosemary protects your brain against free radical damage that triggers neurodegenerative changes. Add the herb to your favourite chicken recipe or spice up your salad with a few sprigs.

Coconut
This Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) is one of the foundational foods you may use to feed your brain, reduce inflammation and prevent memory loss. It does wonders for your skin and is a natural antibacterial as well. Medium Chain Triglycerides are fats that are naturally found in coconut and palm kernel oil.

Beets
These are one of the most nutritious root vegetables you can include in your diet. Forget the beets from your childhood. Today beets may be incorporated into mustards and salads or combined into a very tasty beet, goat cheese and walnut tart. They are high in antioxidants and the natural nitrates boost blood supply to your brain and improve performance.

Make Your Resume A Breath of Fresh Air

 As a job seeker, it’s easy to see hiring managers as big, bad obstacles that need to be overcome. They’re the gatekeepers, after all. But, this kind of thinking actually leads to weaker job applications. Think about it this way: Hiring managers read a ton of resumes —to the point at which their eyes cross. More importantly, hiring managers are just people. With this in mind, the only thing you really need to do to stand out is to have the one resume that actually lets them breathe a sigh of relief during this painful process. Here are simple things you can do. Make the First Thing on Your Resume Immediately Relevant There’s nothing worse for a hiring manager than having to dig through a resume to find what, exactly, an applicant’s relevant experience entails. Don’t make this harder than it needs to be for the person who will be reading your resume, and make sure the first thing on your resume is something you know he or she wants. Are you applying to a sales position? Titling

Achieving Mutual Gain in any Negotiation

-

When the parties in a negotiation are committed to a position, they feel that moving from that position is a failure. Instead, the focus should be given to their purposes. To achieve mutual gain, focus should be given on interests, rather than positions. An environment of respect and discipline should be prevalent between both the parties. For example, in a school, one party favours uniforms, the other opposes it. The reasons for the first party to support uniforms is to avoid circumstances where students wear casuals, because it may give rise to an act of bullying where a person or group may act hostile towards each other regarding their individual style.  The second party is against the use of uniforms because wearing a uniform has its own drawbacks. It makes students easily distinguishable to outsiders. It might even cause financial issues for guardians with limited income. In such a case, the solution is to allow students to dress according to a specific dress code. All

When You Have No Relevant Work Experience

Your resume is essentially a formal introduction of who you are to your potential employer. It should therefore comprise your educational background, former occupational positions, and any other relevant information about you that would come in handy with the specified job description. Lack of relevant job experience is a particularly common problem especially for first time job applicants and could easily stop you from pursuing an employment opportunity. However, this shouldn’t always be the case. As a job seeker with no prior job experience, there are a number of ways you can tweak your resume to stand an equal chance with those who may have several years of experience in their resume. Set and clearly define your goals and objectives on your resume Employers are looking for people who will contribute to their company, you should look at the job position on offer critically and then examine yourself on a personal level, and ask yourself this question. Are you up to the task?
