SPARK YOUR BRAIN WITH HIGH TYROSINE PROTEINS
Just as the computer send signal using the data and power cable so is the brain. Your brain does not have just only neurons it also have neurotransmitter which allows it for easy message signal from one part of the neurons to another. You might have a very sharp brain but when your neurotransmitter is not efficient and also insufficient your might have possible problem with your brain and this might result to your brain not functioning well. Neurotransmitters like tryptopolian are not just automatically generated by your body so much food intake will be able to help you get these neurons. Most food that help you and boost your alertness, concentration and energy are mostly proteinous foods. Examples of such food are egg, seafood etc.
NOTE: 1 EGG IS ENOUGH FOR THE DAY
