This salad is rich in iron, which helps to boost energy, and protein to reduce sugar cravings.

Tuna is a high protein, low calorie fish with essential omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for your brain and can also help prevent high blood pressure. Since high blood pressure often goes hand in hand with stress, it is a good idea to treat the problem by managing stress and eating a healthy stress-busting diet.

The eggs provide choline which is one of the most abundant fats in the brain and helps improve mood. Walnuts are rich in manganese and copper, which help to calm the central nervous system and reduce stress.

Cranberries give great colour to the salad and, more importantly, are bursting with antioxidants to boost your immunity and protect against illness.

This salad works on your brain, body and spirit - truly great brain food!
