Executive Function Diet

Meaning

The Executive Function Diet is a precise nutritional regimen focused on providing the optimal biochemical substrates required to support and measurably enhance the complex cognitive processes grouped under executive function. These processes include planning, cognitive flexibility, working memory, and inhibitory control, which are primarily governed by the prefrontal cortex. This diet is characterized by a strategic balance of macronutrients and a high density of specific micronutrients and phytochemicals proven to support neuronal health and efficient synaptic transmission. Its clinical utility lies in its capacity to sharpen mental acuity, improve decision-making speed, and enhance performance under sustained pressure.
