3. Garbanzo Beans (Chickpeas)

It isn’t simple to find good sources of magnesium, a vital nutrient for energy metabolism. But what makes magnesium more important is its role in speeding message transmission between brain cell receptors. Having a cup of garbanzo beans can assure you of 220 mg of magnesium which is good enough to keep your brain healthy. Aside from that, chickpeas also contain folate which helps in brain cell communication and aid in neurogenesis or brain cell growth.
