Những siêu thực phẩm giàu vitamin, omega, các chất chống ôxy hóa giúp bảo vệ và tăng cường trí não.
Superfoods rich in vitamins, omegas, and antioxidants help protect and enhance the brain.

Eat fish oil

Fish oil contains EPA and DHA, which is easy to use,,, fish oil is made from salmon, mackerel, herring, sardines, pilchards and kippers. According to studies, a diet with low levels of DHA has a high risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.

Blueberries

A study by the University of Cincinnati (USA) also showed that older people can improve their memory after drinking blueberry juice every day. Researchers concluded that this result was due to antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds known as anthocyanins found in blueberries.

The antioxidant effects of blueberries may also help prevent cardiovascular disease. Researchers at the University of Arkansas (USA) discovered that laboratory mice fed blueberry powder had healthier cardiovascular systems.

Vitamins

There is evidence that lycopene, a powerful antioxidant found in tomatoes, may help protect against the types of cell damage that lead to dementia, particularly Alzheimer's disease.

Certain B vitamins—B6, B12, and folic acid—are known to reduce blood homocysteine ​​levels. Elevated homocysteine ​​levels are associated with an increased risk of stroke, cognitive decline, and Alzheimer's disease. A study of elderly patients with mild cognitive impairment found that after two years of intervention with high doses of B6, B12, and folic acid, there was less brain shrinkage than with placebo treatment.

Nuts

Brain enhancement: Glutamine acid in pumpkin seeds acts as a nerve tonic, aiding metabolic reactions in nerve cells and the brain. Therefore, pumpkin is considered a brain tonic, treating nervous breakdown and mentally retarded children.

The journal American Epidemiology suggests that foods rich in vitamin E can help prevent cognitive decline, especially in the elderly. In addition, green leafy vegetables, asparagus, olives, nuts, eggs, brown rice and whole grains are rich in nutrients that are good for brain development and stimulate brain activity.

Walnuts are a particularly good food for the brain. Studies have shown that omega 3 fatty acids in walnuts help maintain structural fat, which makes up 60% of the brain. This type of structural fat helps the brain function properly. The brain is the processing center of the body, supplementing it with adequate nutrients will help enhance memory and cognition.

Cashew

Magnesium found in cashews helps the nerves, blood vessels and muscles relax. Studies have shown that magnesium helps reduce the frequency of migraine attacks, lowers blood pressure and helps prevent heart attacks.

Chestnut

Helps keep the heart healthy. With a high content of unsaturated fats and a rich source of vitamin E to help protect cells, chestnuts play an important role in protecting heart health. In addition, the high content of fiber, calcium, magnesium, zinc, folic acid, biotin in chestnuts also helps you have strong health and less disease.

Millet

Millet contains more vitamin B1 and B2 than rice. The protein in millet contains a lot of tryptophan and methionine. Clinical observations have shown that eating millet can prevent aging and has the effect of strengthening the brain.

Corn kernels

Corn cobs contain many unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid, which protect the brain's blood vessels and reduce blood fat. In particular, the high glutamine content in corn helps support brain cells. Eating corn regularly, especially young corn, also has the effect of strengthening the brain.

Walnuts

Walnuts have been called the fruit of rejuvenation. When using, the dose should be gradually increased. One walnut a day, then one walnut every 5 days, until you have 20 walnuts, then start again. Using it like this will help you eat well, sleep well, have a clear mind, fresh skin, smooth black hair, and good blood circulation.

Pistachios

The rich amount of vitamin B6 in pistachios has a powerful effect on the nervous system. Amino acid molecules that transmit information need vitamin B6 to perform their function well.

Furthermore, B6 plays an important role in the formation of myelin – the sheath around nerve fibers that allows for optimal signal transmission between nerves.

Broccoli

Broccoli is rich in choline, a substance that helps promote the development of brain cells and the nervous system. One study found that choline deficiency during pregnancy can lead to neural tube defects in the fetus. Broccoli also contains vitamin K, which helps improve cognitive function and memory.

An excellent source of vitamin K, known to boost cognitive function and improve brainpower.

If your diet is difficult to balance, you may want to supplement with a multivitamin and mineral complex and an omega-3 fatty acid...which will help you get the nutrients you need.
