We all want to be smarter, right? Even the most brilliant mathematician or scientist probably wouldn’t mind scoring a few extra IQ points. While there may not be a way to turn someone of average intelligence into a certified genius, there are some things we can all do to give our brain power a little boost. Countless articles have been written that focus on food that can help you lose weight, improve your skin, or help you stay well, but what about foods that may be able to help you be a bit smarter? Try some of these on for size, and see if they make you feel a bit more brainy.

Unfortunately, the price of nuts has gone up a bit in recent years, but the good news is that you do not need to eat an entire bag of walnuts yourself to see some benefit. Walnuts contain brain-boosting omega-3 fatty acids, and may even be able to reverse some cognitive damage that’s already been done. A small handful of walnuts every day or so is probably all you need to enjoy the benefits that they offer.
