The brain is a vital part of the body. Many compare him to a great biocomputer that performs functions of mental activity such as memory, speech, reasoning, among others.
While heredity can create in a person predisposed to developing diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, depression, etc.., Studies clearly indicate that other factors such as diet also directly affect the brain's physiological well-being.
However, we ask, What are the foods we should eat to keep your brain healthy? What vitamins or supplements we must also eat to achieve that body suffers no damage or at least be maintained in good condition as long as possible?
In this regard, a number of nutrients, according to research that allows the brain to perform well in their daily tasks:
Phosphorus: This is an essential nutrient for the brain and is found in dairy products, bananas, whole grains, brewer's yeast, cocoa, green leafy vegetables, especially artichokes, celery, parsley, cabbage, etc. .) dried legumes (beans, chickpeas and lentils), nuts (almonds, peanuts, walnuts, etc.). yolk, fish, potatoes and beef and poultry.
Selenium: is another necessary nutrient selenium found in foods like fish (herring, tuna, etc..), Oysters, eggs, whole grains, wheat germ, mushrooms and some vegetables such as garlic, broccoli and carrots.
Zinc: As for zinc, it is especially the seafood, meat, egg yolk, cereals, whole meal bread, brewer's yeast, nuts, mushrooms and some vegetables (broccoli, spinach and beans) .
Vitamin E: This vitamin is found especially in wheat germ oil and sunflower oil and also in oil and corn.
Besides food and nutrients described above it should be noted that, in addition, also indicated the use of ginkgo biloba. This herb, much used since ancient times in the east, has antioxidant components and improves blood flow to the brain.
For these properties it is globally accepted as an element that helps the brain to prevent deterioration in such important functions as memory and improves the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease early. In this sense, it is ideal, especially for older adults, taking ginkgo biloba daily infusions.
