If you want to preserve your mental health and the freshness of your brain cells, take care of what foods you eat. Salads, seafood and stone fruits represent the right choice of "food for the brain". Citrus fruits, apples and strawberries, which are rich in vitamin C, necessary for the work of gray cells, must be included in this palette, Viennese professor Hademar Bankhofer points out. According to him, there are some other important foods that should be paid attention to.
* Broccoli is recommended for fast and concentrated learning, because they have an abundance of glucosinolates, carotenoids, iron and calcium.
* Eggs are important because they contain lecithin. By consuming this food, the brain is supplied with choline, from which acetylcholine, the most important neurotransmitter, is produced. In addition to eggs, lecithin is also found in soy products and dairy products.
* Hazelnuts are useful for long-term memory, because they contain valuable microelements and fats.
* Salmon, mackerel, tuna and herring encourage concentration, while lettuce, spinach and cruciferous vegetables supply the brain with chlorophyll, which helps inhaled oxygen stay longer in the brain cells, and thus be better used for mental activities, reports Novosti.
