Vitamin K has been linked to an increase in cognitive function and improved brain power. A good source of this vitamin is the broccoli. Spinach, brussels sprouts, Swiss chard, green beans, asparagus, and kale are also rich in vitamin K. The healthiest ways to cook them -- try steaming or stir-frying.
Extra benefit: Vegetables like broccoli can help you stay in shape. They're rich in fiber, which keeps you feeling full longer after eating, so you're less likely to binge or go for unhealthy snacks. Because the fiber isn't digested by your body, it also increases stool bulk and helps prevent constipation.
