Eat Protein-Rich Foods to Boost Alertness (tyrosine)

Eat Protein-Rich Foods to Boost Alertness (tyrosine)

Foods rich in protein, like turkey, tuna, or chicken, are rich in an amino acid called tyrosine. 

Tyrosine may help boost levels of the brain chemicals dopamine and norepinephrine. This boost helps you feel alert and makes it easier to concentrate. 

Try to include a protein source in your diet several times a day, especially when you need to clear your mind and boost your energy.

Good sources of healthy proteins: 

beans and peas, lean beef, low-fat cheese, fish, milk, poultry, soy products, yogurt
