19 Dec 2016
We can say as a normal policy that all important meal, all the vitamins and all - come to the polls, promise to create new useful products, etc. We do not like those answers, and we will specify. Of the variety of what is in the store you need to isolate the 5 best products.
Let's start:
- Oatmeal. Since childhood, we all said, "Eat the oatmeal in the morning, it is useful!", "Why" question, in this case, could be perceived as a personal insult. The answer why. Oatmeal is a good carbohydrates, the best time to take carbohydrates just morning. They provide energy, which is so important in the morning. The brain actively using glucose contained in carbohydrates as fuel. Recall that at times, the energy consumption of the brain is 25% of the total cost. And it would be doubly better off if the fuel for the brain will be high-quality in the morning. As part of the glucose is created neurotransmitter responsible for learning and memory - acetylcholine.
- Nuts. About the nuts on the contrary - nothing as a child did not speak. In terms of protein, fat and carbohydrates, nuts - a dangerous mix of fat and protein. Their use is not in it! The nuts contain a lot of the amino acid glycine. 100 grams of purified nuts is 1.2 grams of glycine, depending on the type of nut. Glycine - This is useful substances that have a sedative effect, it relieves stress, relaxes. Brain "by glycine" calm and concentrated because of the activation of the NMDA-receptors on the surfaces of nerve cells. To become more calm, quite buy 70 grams of nuts and eat during the day.
- Eggs. More precisely, in the context of the development of the brain, important yolks. Yes, they have cholesterol, it is true, but cholesterol in them useful, especially men, to increase testosterone!
- A fish. Mega-useful product. The fish just hoard of high-quality healthy fats and proteins. Well-known omega - 3 there is. But where there is not enough information - how many of these same good fats per 100 grams of fish and how much? On average, about 900 mg of Omega 3 found in cooked sea fish 100 gr. The fatty fish - the more. For the health of the brain and body, it is desirable to consume the person 1 gram omega-3 per day. Eat 2-3 meals of fish a week and you will be happy.
- Green tea. Important large-dried green tea, not the dust from his bag. The interest for the development of the brain is L-theanine, which it has. There's even a supplement. Many studies have been conducted that indicate that this additive improves attention, accelerates response times, improves sleep and rest, and there is no drowsiness or over-excited. (Use Piracetam, Phenylpiracetam, Pramiracetam, Aniracetam, Oxiracetam).
These effects of L-theanine is similar to GABA - a neurotransmitter tranquility. Drink green tea!
