Dr. Shaima El-Sayed Mohamed, professor of nutrition at the National Research Center, said that there are some foods that contain nutritional compounds that protect brain cells and enhance their ability to work, which is reflected in the form of a marked improvement in the ability to focus and another to increase immunity.
The “seventh day” monitors the most important foods that protect brain cells:
1- Avocado: Rich in healthy mono fats that keep blood sugar levels constant.
2- Beets: Natural nitrates in beets increase blood flow to the brain, which helps to improve mental performance.
3- Flaxseed: It is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids and alpha-linolenic acid to stimulate memory.
4- Water: It is a natural recipe that helps in improving brain functions because dehydration affects the work of memory and leads to its weakness, by eating 8-10 glasses of water daily.
5- Broccoli: It contains high levels of vitamin K and choline, and it is one of the elements that preserves memory.
6- Almond oil: Rich in antioxidants and omega-6 fatty acids, vitamin B6 and vitamin E, which are a group of elements that stimulate memory.
7- Walnut fruit: (Eye of the Camel), which is similar to the human brain, has a high nutritional value, as it is rich in omega-3 acids and antioxidants, in addition to carbohydrates, proteins, fibers and mineral salts, and it helps to strengthen memory and improve mental capabilities.
8- Salmon: It is one of the foods rich in omega-3 acids. It is recommended to eat it twice a week.
9- Egg yolk has a great ability to improve the mental health of people in general, especially with regard to memory because it contains vitamin B12.
10- Protein: It helps stimulate the body to increase red blood cells, and deliver oxygen to the brain, so eating chicken twice a week, and fish once a week, protects the brain from diseases.
11- Legumes: Helps stimulate the brain because it contains a high percentage of trans fats, and a high percentage of choline that sends signals to improve brain cells, such as lentils, beans, and beans of all kinds.
12- Whole grains: such as brown rice, whole bread or brown and quinoa, so if you want to protect from Alzheimer’s, include whole grains in your diet so that they are 3 times a day.
13- Some vegetables and fruits important for the health of the nervous and immune systems, such as cabbage, cauliflower, zucchini, squash, tomatoes, green and red turkey, citrus fruits and strawberries.
