Here are some tips you need to know to stay healthy diet and the brain can always intelligent:
1. Choose which powered
The brain that weighs only two percent of total body weight to consume at least 20 percent of calories your body needs. Choosing foods that are powered are important.
These foods contain such a high carbohydrate such as fruits, vegetables, grains and others. In such foods have high glucose levels and adequate to meet the nutrition of the brain. Lack of supply of glucose to the brain can cause a significant thing in the process of memory.
Glucose is needed especially in the forebrain (frontal cortex), which is the motor for all orders and organ activity. Frontal cortex is also referred to as the CEO of his brain.
This section is according to British researchers, Leigh Gibson of Roehampton University, is the most sensitive to the presence of glucose. "If your glucose levels fell in parts of the brain, it's just like you who do not breathe," he said.
When you are short of glucose is not advisable to drink lots of soda drinks (trigger force) to maintain optimal brain to work anyway. Because this will be a contraction between the need for glucose in the brain and functions to the muscles.
When glucose levels fall and remain triggered muscle works, it can cause damage to muscle cells throughout the body. According to Marc Montminy, Salk Institute of Biological Sciences in California, damage can also occur including the section of the brain itself.
2. Diligent eat
With a diet that does not mean you should not eat. The brain needs adequate food portions. The rule should not be too much and also not be too small.
To optimize this way of eating, a British scientist, Michael Green of Aston University suggest one tactic that is "more often but only a small snack. "
This idea, he said, can make our brains work better. Proportion is only by keeping glucose levels in the blood can be 25 grams. "This amount is equal to eating a banana," says Gibson.
3. Eating low GI (Glycemic index)
GI indicates the levels of glucose in the blood. Pretzels or salty types of cookies that can cause blood sugar levels rise quickly, so-called high GI index levels. Try to avoid.
J.M. Bourre from the French National Medicine Academy In September 2006 wrote in The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging that low-Gi foods are the best food. Type of carbohydrate foods with high fiber are including low GI.
Combine these foods with fat or protein type that will make it slowly absorbed by the body. For example, bread wheat has a low GI index. When mixed with meat or other protein foods, it can slow the absorption of glucose into the body.
This way is a key balance between the incorporation of macronutrient diet such as carbohydrates, fat and protein for a healthy way of eating.
4. Measure Your Fat
Although the body's ability to absorb fat in the lower levels, not all fats are equal. Trans fats or fats from fast food to stay logged in bad category. For that choice away from fatty foods are better for health care.
Gibson reminded the increase of stroke is one example of why fat becomes an important note on the diet. Fat is also blamed as the cause of damage to the hippocampus (part of the brain that play a role in memory process).
