What foods can nourish the brain

The human brain has a huge number of nerve cells, about 100 billion, which are the basic unit of the brain. However, human brain cells are in a process of constant reduction. And it is generally believed that brain nerve cells are not regenerable. Brain nerve cells are really dead, one less one, exhaustion does not help, everyone cherish.

Studies have shown that various foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and phytonutrients can improve memory, improve concentration, mood, and maintain brain function to a certain extent.

So, based on this, let's introduce some of the more common brain-boosting and intellectual foods in daily life.

Fish: Salmon, sardines, salmon and other deep-sea fish, because they are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, can provide high levels of antioxidants and vitamin E, etc., which help to delay the aging of the brain. Fish head is rich in lecithin, which is an important component of neurotransmitter synthesis in the human brain, which can enhance human memory, thinking and analysis ability, and has a puzzle effect.


Beans: such as soy milk, tofu, yuba, fresh beans, dried beans, etc., rich in protein and essential amino acids, fats, carbohydrates and vitamin A, vitamin B, etc. Essential amino acids are the building blocks of brain activity and help maintain brain health.

Vegetables: Leafy green vegetables provide good amounts of vitamin E and folic acid. Vitamin E slows brain aging, folic acid improves memory, and reduces homocysteine. Tomatoes, squash, and carrots are rich in antioxidants that can help keep your brain alive. Cauliflower and broccoli can improve cognitive function and memory. This is because there is an important neurotransmitter called acetylcholine in the brain, which is responsible for the excitability of brain cells, and cauliflower and broccoli contain more of these substances.


Eggs: Eggs can improve memory and strengthen the brain. As mentioned above, acetylcholine is responsible for exciting brain cells, and eggs are the food that can provide acetylcholine. However, because eggs contain more lipids, it is recommended to eat no more than one per day. In addition, soy foods and liver can also provide acetylcholine.

Nuts: Walnuts are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, peanuts are rich in pantothenic acid (pantothenic acid is vitamin B5), sunflower seeds are rich in iron, zinc, potassium, magnesium and other trace elements and vitamin E. The above dried fruits, if eaten in moderation, can nourish the brain, enhance memory, and relieve brain fatigue.


Milk: Milk contains high-quality protein, riboflavin, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin B12, vitamin D and other nutrients, and is an important source of brain nutrition.

Water and green tea: Water is essential for maintaining brain function, and about 80% of the brain is water. Studies have shown that the first thing that is affected by the lack of water in the human body is the brain. Adequate water intake can improve the response speed of the brain.

Therefore, it is recommended that you drink more water, and do not wait until you are thirsty to drink water. Tea contains catechins, which are very beneficial for brain health. Catechol helps us maintain good memory and keep the brain working properly.
