Proteins and Carbohydrates
Scientists carried out experiments on animals, one of which received good food, and another – an excessive amount of fat. As a result of this experiment the first group of animals was well adapted to life and was able to solve all problem facing the animals, as well as a beautifully developed physically. Animals also are overweight, well-fed fatty foods, such tasks could not. All this is in the same measure to the man. The fact that fat prevent the absorption of much-needed good brain sugars, and therefore the prevalence of body fat would nullify the absorption of sugar. That is why for the development of mental abilities in the first place should lose weight, as well as change your diet, the deletion of unnecessary fatty foods.
Protein = acceleration of mental activity to the proteins are important, not less, than carbohydrates. It is through protein produced hormones adrenaline and dopamine, which stimulating the brain, speed up all reactions, including those thought processes. More energy – very productive. Add protein to your diet, whether plant or animal origin. Take care to animal protein was not fat: fish, seafood, low-fat meat. Of vegetable protein food choices is especially rich in beans, peas, lentils, soy beans, eggplant, nuts, mushrooms. Vitamins and minerals: natural makeup Practically there is no such vitamin, which would not affect the memory, reaction speed and many other features.
For example, iron, zinc and B vitamins significantly improve memory, and their lack in the diet it significantly worse. To receive these trace elements and vitamins should absorb pepper, bread, seafood, green vegetables, beans, fruits, milk, flour products, cereals. Calcium and magnesium are responsible for the activities nervous system, and since the brain consists of nerve cells, the transfer of momentum between them is of utmost importance for the brain as a whole. These trace elements are contained in dairy products, bananas, peanuts, oranges, wheat germ and dried apricots. We should not rush to the artificial vitamins sold in the pharmacy. The best are those that are contained in natural products, especially since all of the above products are not in short supply. Overeating – the tug of war even keeping a correct diet is not easy sometimes misused by some especially delicious and favorite foods. It would be wrong to think that the more beneficial for the brain of the product we eat in one go, the easier it will be for us to think. On the contrary, the more we eat, the less energy remains in the body for any activity, except for the digestion of food: immediately after the regular meal, blood rushes into the digestive organs, instead of the brain. Thus, mental activity slows down, and for a few hours we are unable to actively think and work. To solve this problems rethink your diet in the middle of working or school day: eliminate the heavy and fatty foods, reduce portion of starchy carbs, but can lean on protein – it will stimulate mental activity. Do not neglect and water! American studies have shown a marked improvement in school students with frequent use of clean drinking water during the school day. But do not confuse the water with the coffee: caffeine dehydrates the body, but in higher concentrations and does give an effect opposite to that usually ascribed to him. Thus, these are the basic rules of supply "for the mind": 1. Do not overeat 2. Replace sugar with carbohydrates 3. Eat protein 4. Drink more water
