BRAIN FOOD

4 simple ways to brain promoting nutrition.. here are the tips to use food as brain medicine. 1.INCREASE WATER INTAKE,given that your brain is about 80%water,the first rule of brain nutrition is adequate water to hydrate your brain.Even slight dehydration can raire stress hormones which can damage your brain over time.Drink at least 84 ounces of water a day.It is best to have your liquids un polluted with artificial sweeteners,sugar or caffeine.Green tea is also good for brain function as it contains chemicals that enhance mental relaxation and alertness. 2.CALORIE RESTRICTION,substantial research in animals and now in humans indicates that a calorie-restricted diet is helpful for brain and life longevity.Eating less helps you live longer.It controls weight;decreases risk for heart diseas,cancer and stroke from obesity(a major risk factor for all of these illnesses) 3.FISH OIL,DHA,one form of omega-3 fatty acids found in fish,makes up a large portion of the gray matter of the brain.The fat in your brain forms cell membrance and plays a vital role in how our cells function.Neurons are also rich in omega-3 fatty acids.DHA is also found in high quantities in the retina,the light-senstive part of the eye.Research in the last few years has revealed that diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids may help promote a healthy emotional balance and positive mood in later years,possibly because DHA is a main component of the brain's synapses. 4.LOTS OF DIEATARY ANTIOXIDANTS,a number of studies have shown that ditary intake of antioxidants from fruits and vegetables significantly reduce the risk of developing cognitive impairment.The research was done because it was theorized that free radical formation plays a major role in the deterioration of the brain with age.When a cell converts oxygen into energy,tiny molecules called free radicals are made.When produced in normal amounts,free radicals work to rid the body of harmful toxin,thereby keeping it healthy.When produced in toxic amounts,free radicals damage the body's cellular machinery,resulting in cell death and tissue damage.This process is called oxidative stress.Vitamin E and vitamin C and beta carotene inhibit the production of free radicals.The best antioxidant fruits and vegetables(from the US department of agriculture):blueberries,blackberries,cranberries,strawberries,spinach,raspberrges,brussels sprouts,plums,broccoli,beets,avocados,oranges,red grapes,re bell peppers,cherries and kiwis.
