To Improve Memory
Your memory is a monster; you forget it
doesn't. It simply
files things away. It keeps things for you, or hides things from
you and summons them to your recall with a will of its own.
You think you have a memory; but it has you! - John Irving

What Foods to Eat for a
Healthy Mind
Even though a
healthy diet is good for your heart, it is also
good for your mind. You should eat from all of
the food groups. That would include:
Fruits
Vegetables
Whole Grains
Lean Meats (Poultry)
Dairy products (2% or less milk)
You will still need water to flush down the
food. Water is very important because it keeps
you hydrated. Drinking alcohol will dehydrate
you and cause you to forget things.
Dont rely on herbal supplements to provide you
with the nutrients that you need to sustain your
memory. There have not been any on the market
that have proven to do so. A healthy diet is the
best way for you to get all of the vitamins and
minerals that you need.
You need a healthy brain not only to think, but
to keep your memory intact. You need to eat
foods that contain antioxidants, such as:
Spinach
Broccoli
Blueberries
You should also include fish in your diet, such
as:
Cod
Salmon
Sardines (very efficient in improving your
memory)
Tuna
There are Omega-3 fatty acids in fish. Omega-3
fatty acids work to keep your brain functioning
properly. Fish also contains healthy fats. These
healthy fats can decrease the onset of dementia.
Dementia is a form of a memory loss condition
that can be devastating.
Foods that have folic acid (a B vitamin) are
also good to eat. Folic acid has been known to
help with the decrease in memory loss. You will
find folic acid in foods such as:
Fruits
Leafy green vegetables
Peas
Dried beans
Grain products
Cereals
Enriched breads
In addition to the above, you should have foods
that contain protein, such as lean meats
(chicken), eggs and peanut butter. Whatever the
combination is, it should be enough that
provides you with enough calories so that you
can have enough energy to be physically active.
Try to avoid foods that have a lot of saturated
fats in them. They will cause your cholesterol
level to go sky high. You can eat food that has
unsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats. These
are better for your system.
Its been said that olive oil can stop older
adults from losing their memory if its included
in what they eat. Olive oil contains
monounsaturated fat. Their memory will stay
intact. Plus, this kind of fat is better for
them and other people to use.
It blends in with blood and heart vessels. You
can get more oxygen and nutrients to your brain.
Eventually, the cells would work to keep the
memory solid.
Its important that blood flows continuously
through the brain. Olive oil can protect the
cells from being damaged and assist with the
growth of them. Keep in mind that you should not
consume an overload of calories or it can cause
you to gain a lot of weight or become obese.
With vitamins, there are some that can help you
to help your memory performance. One of those
that you can take is B vitamins. If you are not
taking this, your memory can suffer. Taking B
vitamins has proven to improve your memory and
your ability to remember things.
For older adults, they can eat cereals that
contain B12. This will help them keep their
memory intact. Otherwise, their mindset can go
downhill. If you are a vegetarian, you can use
the B vitamin as supplement for not having
enough in their system. This is usually designed
for vegetarians that dont eat fish, eggs or
dairy products.
You can also take vitamins C and E to help your
memory stay sharp. Both of these vitamins
contain antioxidants that help to relieve some
of the stress that is found on the cells of your
brain. Free radicals are responsible for the
stress that afflicts that area.
Antioxidants work to get rid of the free
radicals and can help to improve your memory.
Vitamins C and E are known to be safe; however,
it is a good idea to consult your physician
before taking them.
Magnesium is a mineral that is considered to get
rid of stress in the brain. It can help with
improving your memory and enhancing your
learning skills. This mineral is also used when
the muscles contract as well as allowing you to
relax.
There are some foods that contain magnesium,
such as whole grains, leafy green vegetables,
milk and seafood.
