Food for the Brain

Food for the Brain

Based on the knowledge that the food we eat directly affects the performance of our brains and therefore our ability to learn and concentrate, learndirect has worked with celebrity chef Danny Boome and nutritionist Fiona Hunter to devise a range of recipes, hints and tips to fuel learning. Food for your brain - brainfood!

Hints and tips for food to fuel learning

learndirect courses

We all lead busy lives, but like cooking, learning doesn't have to take up all your time. The great thing about learndirect is that we offer a range of courses at every level - including courses in every day English and maths that can help with working out weights and volumes and in understanding recipe instructions.

Once you've fed your body, why not feed your mind too by learning some new skills. At learndirect we offer qualifications in maths, English IT and more. Visit our course catalogue to find out more and see how we could help you.

Do you struggle to follow written instructions like recipes? Maybe you could do with brushing up on your English skills or are you finding it difficult to measure out the right ingredients when following a recipe? If so, maybe you could do with brushing up on your maths skills. To find out more and get started, visit our page about the nationally recognised Certificates in Adult Numeracy and Literacy.

Alternatively, pop into your nearest learndirect centre to find more.
