Green tea
Green tea has many health benefits, including improving memory. Green tea contains polyphenols and flavonoids, which help reduce the loss of nerve cells. Flavonoids also produce a substance that helps remove plaque in the brains of Alzheimer's patients.
Honey
Sweet in taste, neutral in nature, has the effect of replenishing deficiency, moistening the intestines, detoxifying, and is known as the “essence of a hundred flowers”. Honey is very rich in nutrients, especially containing many types of enzymes, amino acids, vitamins and trace elements that are essential for the functioning of the central nervous system, thereby improving memory.
There are many ways to use it, but the simplest is to regularly drink 2 teaspoons of honey every night before going to bed. The ancient book of herbal medicine, Herbal Medicine, wrote: "Drinking honey for a long time will strengthen the mind, make the body light, not hungry or old, and live long like a god."

Corn
Corn contains unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid. Unsaturated fatty acids effectively protect blood vessels in the brain and reduce blood fat. In particular, the amount of glutamic acid in corn is very high, so it will stimulate brain cells to constantly move and exchange information. Eating corn regularly, especially "fresh" corn, will help you have a healthy brain.
Longan
The book Compendium of Materia Medica also writes: "Longan opens the appetite, benefits the spleen, nourishes weakness and strengthens the mind."
Modern research shows that longan has the ability to regulate the activity of the cerebral cortex and improve memory. To actively prevent dementia, people often use 500g longan and 500g white sugar, cook into a thick paste, drink 2 times a day, 10-15 ml each time.
Longan has a sweet taste and warm properties. It is beneficial to the heart and spleen, replenishes blood and qi, and strengthens the brain and intelligence. The ancient medical book Khai Bao Ben Cao states that longan has the ability to "replenish the spleen and benefit intelligence".
Chicken eggs
Eggs contain a lot of choline and lecithin, which promote the excretion of “bad” cholesterol. In addition, chicken eggs also contain many vitamins such as: A, B, D, E and trace elements: phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, sulfur. Just eating one chicken egg a day will compensate for the maximum deficiency of vitamin B12. According to the most recent scientific documents, chicken eggs can reduce the possibility of depression and reduce the destruction of nerve cells.
