What nutrients are good for the brain?

DHA. A British study shows that DHA in the brain accounts for about 97% of omega -3 fatty acids. At the same time, it is proved that this substance is indispensable in the brain and must be ingested through diet. It also proves that it is more remarkable in improving intelligence, memory and thinking ability.

Environmental Protection Agency. Like DHA, omega -3 fatty acids are known as "vascular scavengers" for their proven functions of clearing away vascular garbage, reducing the accumulation of garbage in blood and keeping blood vessels healthy.

Squalene. One of the proven functions of squalene is antioxidation and increasing metabolism. Another important function is to increase the utilization rate of oxygen in body tissues, provide sufficient oxygen for the brain and promote blood circulation.

Lecithin. Lecithin is the basic substance of neurotransmitter and myelin sheath, which can improve the activation degree of brain cells and increase the memory and intelligence level.

Zinc. Zinc is an indispensable micronutrient for human body, which can promote the energy metabolism of brain cells, promote the growth, division and differentiation of brain cells and nerve cells, and make our brain more developed.

The main substance of "brain-strengthening" products is DHA. In recent years, studies in New Zealand show that DHA supplementation can improve the memory of men by 15% and that of women by 7% within 6 months. A study in the United States shows that within four months, students supplemented with DHA have improved their learning attention, memory and reaction ability. Therefore, it is helpful to replenish such products in a short time.

In fact, food is also rich in DHA, which can be supplemented if eaten frequently, such as deep-sea fish, egg yolk, nuts (α -linolenic acid to DHA), algae and so on. Want to "brain", we also need to ensure the diversity of food, balanced nutrition, often eat some potatoes, miscellaneous grains, bean products, milk and fish; And increasing moderate exercise can give the brain enough nutrition, keep the brain active and have more energy to learn and remember.
