Brief Answer:
Brain needs oxygen to function

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Brain is a complex organ. It needs appropriate circulation, oxygen levels, nutrition and rest also to function appropriately. Your queries are about lifetsyle. There are a few yoga techniques that are safe and effective.

To energise brain during increased activity - nadi shodhan, pranayam, breathing technique, meditations are effective.

To relax/decrease brain activity - yog nidra is the answer in which you take your attention to feet and other body parts.

Food suggested is the routine food that is eaten in your family. The quantity should be appropriate, neither less nor too much. Foods that are easily digestible like fruits, vegetarian foods etc will provide more nutrition to brain and other organs. Otherwise no particular supplements needed in a healthy individual.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
