A scientist job is very much energy consuming. Extensive work of Academic teaching, day to day designing new experiments, mentoring students and publishing research etc result in some serious health issues including stress, obesity, high BP etc. The food thy eat should also act as a medicine. So what are the best food supplements those must be used by scientists for the optimal performance during job.
It is a good question as many scientists are deeply engrossed in research.
When I was young, I used to work about 16-17 hours daily .I had no time for social activity. This has helped me to publish over 610 papers, besides authoring nine books.This is the significance of hard work in life.
I cite my own example when I felt exhausted during the long working hours in the laboratory.
1. Do not work continuously for more than 60 minutes.Take a rest for about 5 minutes and relax on chair.
2. Close the eyes and do deep breathing in fresh air for about 2 minutes.
3. Drink one glass of lemon water with small pinch of salt and glucose.
4. Drink one cup of green tea.
5. Eat at least two banana as it is an instant food to give energy.
6. Always keep smiling, and talk minimum in order to save your energy.
If these simple tips are followed honestly, the work out put of every academician/ researcher/scientist will be boost up, and one can contribute more than expected.

Sir, I think we should stick to food/supplements that gives energy. For the average adult in a resting state, the brain consumes about 20 percent of the body’s energy. The brain’s primary function — processing and transmitting information through electrical signals — is very, very expensive in terms of energy use. Therefore, we must fulfil that energy need by consuming carbs, dark chocolate, nuts, coffee etc. as the brainy work load increases energy demand for the CNS activities.
Dear Mubarak Ali Khan
Some of the problems you have listed, like obesity(morbid) and high BP, is the result of over-nutrition. All these problems are the detrimental consequence of ectopic fats deposition in our body organs. Time-restricted eating will help to get rid of these ectopic fats:

Supplements do more harm than good. Eat simple food and eat just enough for our body's daily needs, we will find ourselves super healthy, and extremely energetic.
