iii. Protein-rich foods: Such as soya milk, skimmed milk, low fat yoghurt and cottage cheese, to help your body build essential amino acids.  Dr. Karunakaran suggests adding a pinch of turmeric to your glass of milk, so that you can get the anti-inflammatory, healing benefits of this wonder spice.

iv. Eggs: Two to three times a week is ideal. Low-cost, high-quality protein, quick to cook, and good to eat.

v. Nuts and Seeds: Rich in Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, they boost brain function. Sprinkle some sunflower seeds and chopped almonds over muesli or on your yoghurt.
