    Foods for the brain \u2013 complex carbohydrates and fats<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Food triggers the brain\u2019s intellectual functions, stimulates the production of enzymes, hormones and neurotransmitters that play an important role in memory and recall processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The energy required for proper brain functions comes from complex carbohydrates included in the daily diet. Supply them by reaching for wholemeal bread<\/strong> and pasta<\/strong>, brown rice<\/strong> and bran<\/strong>. Sea fish<\/strong> eaten 2\u20133 times a week (mackerel, salmon, sardines), cold-pressed oils<\/strong> (e.g. linseed and rapeseed oils) and nuts provide the body with essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Brain function relies on vitamins and minerals supplied with food. Include products rich in iron in your diet, as iron is necessary to transport oxygen to the brain. The main sources of iron are meat <\/strong>(including innards), eggs<\/strong>, green vegetables<\/strong> and pulses<\/strong>. Remember about vitamins, especially A, C and E. Magnesium, found in fruit and vegetables (spinach, kale, parsley) as well as whole grains (buckwheat), are other excellent memory and concentration boosters. The diet should be rich in products that contain lecithin, such as egg yolk, nuts, sunflower seeds, soya and liver.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Antioxidants also play a very important role as they protect the body from the harmful effects of free radicals. Scientific studies confirm that people who eat foods rich in antioxidants, such as flavonoids and carotenoids, show better concentration. A lower cognitive decline over a period of several years was also observed. So it is worth consuming, among other things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
