Did you know that IQ drops from 30 onwards. It has happened to us to forget someone’s name, where to park the car. Well, memory declines just like bone density, vision, muscle toning. It scares anyone a lot, even because there is Alzheimer’s or dementia. Now we can delay these problems or even avoid them through exercise and nutrition. According to studies, people who exercise regularly reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s by 45%, because physical exercise allows the heart to work better and helps to stimulate small blood vessels, better transporting glucose and nutrients to the brain.
You should always stimulate your brain with new learning and the right brain food.
The right food? Let’s start by talking about turmeric, which is found a lot in Indian food, it increases the good brain protein called ApoE.
Stress and eating saturated fat and refined sugar also help to increase inflammation and help brain decline.
So let’s strengthen the brain with healthy fats, that is, omega 3, which are flexible fats like fish, and within this fatty fish like salmon, sardines, mackerel, tuna. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that people with a higher level of fats found in fish had a 47% reduced risk of developing dementia.
Another category of essential foods to keep your brain healthy and your heart pumping are fruits, vegetables and seeds. A British study carried out in 2015 with 2500 people revealed that the consumption of sesame, linseed and pumpkin seeds was associated with a smaller decline in the cognitive functions of memory and information processing, since these foods have a substance called lignin.
Also adopt dark chocolate, tea, red wine and blueberries as the sugar the brain needs. These foods have flavanols, which help brain connections and protect against inflammation. The more inflammation the body has the greater the cognitive decline, so people who are overweight are at greater risk.
