Shakes For The Brain – Delicious And Healthy!

Almonds and nuts contain valuable minerals that nourish the brain perfectly, so they are indispensable.

Our memory performance depends very much on the diet. So this article is about shakes for the brain.

Many studies have shown that our brain needs certain natural active ingredients in order to be efficient and mature without losing memory and the ability to concentrate with increasing age.

Both our diet and our lifestyle play an important role in this.

For example, it is known that under-nourished children up to 3 years of age can be classified below their biological age. A saturated fat diet increases the production of amyloid proteins, which can promote the occurrence of Alzheimer’s disease.

It is therefore of the utmost importance to control our daily diet and, above all, to give preference to those foods that are beneficial for the functioning of our neurons.

In addition, we should be active and do activities that challenge our brain, such as learning new things and starting new projects.

Which foods are bad for memory?

Saturated fatty acids directly affect the blood flow to our brain. You should make sure to avoid these as much as possible.

• White sugar: It makes us nervous and sometimes hyperactive and is not good for memory or concentration.
• Alcohol: Badly damages our nervous system and then worsens concentration. Contributes to the destruction of neural networks that are crucial for our ability to remember.
• Proteins: Proteins from red meat and aged cheese in particular produce tryptophan and serotonin and have a negative effect on our nervous system.

Tips for our brains and a good memory

• Don’t forget breakfast. Hypoglycemic states, for example, are very bad for concentration. You should definitely start the day with basic nutrients that will keep your brain energized. Although the brain is only 2% of our body, it requires 20% of the energy.
• Do sports or plead gentle movement exercises.
• Take a rest . Sleep at least 8 hours a day. Our brain needs rest and relaxation in order to store experiences, memories, etc. in the long term.
