Have you always wanted to become a fast thinker during difficult or cramming situations? Did you ever wonder if there were ordinary foods that you could take from your own garden or in the nearest grocery shop in your locality that would enhance your level of smartness?

Here are some foods you may want to consider as food for the brain:

According to a list by nutritionist Kelly Aronica that was featured on Yahoo Shine, carrots and spinach are capable of releasing "neurotransmitters" for the brain. These help in regulating various messages that get transported straight to your mind. She also included yogurt, green tea and eggs on her list. Egg yolks come with Choline which is also a neurotransmitter that helps in improving your memory.

The Alternet website mentioned Avocado on top of their own list of 20 foods that will supercharge your brain. Sara Ost suggests that you even mix it with some scrambled eggs to produce monounsaturated fats. These are good fats that improve blood circulation required for the brain to function at its highest level.

Beets, on the other hand, are what OrganicGardening.com recommends above all to help you turn out smarter. It can supply vitamin B to your brain which you will need to help you process any information that you get and even sort them in an organized fashion with the aid of memories. The author emphasized though that it is best to get the beets fresh and avoid the ones that are canned.

Another Yahoo Shine contributor, Nicole Catanese focused on salmon, cocoa and even the Korean delicacy, Kimchi. It is a fermented cabbage in a bit of a usual hot taste making it not so pleasant to the taste of some. Nicole Avena, Ph.D., author of Why Diets Fail mentioned that it contains lactobacillus sakei. It helps in the enhancement of the brain's cognitive ability and increases its cell growth.
