G P Swallow is a brain Diet

One of the values of good food is that it provides energy and serves as a building block for the body. It also helps the body prevent and protect against diseases. However, recent research now gives thrilling evidence of the influence of dietary nutrients on brain and cognitive functions.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Research reports suggest that diets rich in omega-3 Fatty acids (DHA) support cognitive processes while diets rich in high saturated fats reduce molecular substrates that support cognitive processing and increase the risk of neurological function.

Fernando Gomez-Pinilla, in an article published in the National Library of Medicine titled Brain Foods: The Effect of Nutrition on Brain Function, noted the invaluable function of Omega-3-rich diets to brain and cognitive functions and the harmful effect of saturated fatty acid-rich foods on mental functioning.

According to Fernando, the dramatic increase in the consumption of saturated fatty acids and a corresponding decrease in the consumption of Omega-3 fatty acids, in Western civilization, perhaps explain the elevated incidence of major depression in countries like the US and Germany

Other sources across the WEB also affirm the positive impact of Omega-3 fatty acid-rich foods on synaptic function and cognitive abilities. Omega-3 fatty acids provide 30% of the total phospholipid composition of plasma membranes in the brain, which is crucial for synaptic transmission (movement of electric signals from one nerve cell to another).

Another investigation by Portwood MM; The role of dietary fatty acids in children’s behavior and learning, published in the Nutritional Health 2006;18: 233-247 affirms the correlation between improvement in school performance and consumption of Omega-3 fatty acids.

B Vitamins

These essential vitamins do more than help the body to convert food to energy and help the body to form red blood, they are also essential for brain function. Deficiency of B vitamins, especially folate and niacin, in the body, can lead to neurological disorders such as depression and cognitive impairment. Folate, according to experts, prevents cognitive decline and dementia during aging.

Nutrition Health sources also affirm that Niacin promotes the growth and development of brain cells, especially after injury or oxygen stress.

Sources across the web say that niacin is crucial to the brain because it’s part of the enzymes that energize the brain to function properly.

Antioxidants

Foods rich in micronutrients and antioxidants like Vitamin E are essential for neural function. Sources from health journals say that the brain is susceptible to oxidative damage because of its high metabolic load, and abundance of oxidizable materials in the neural cells

Iron

Diets rich in iron are crucial for maintaining healthy brain function as it helps in the transport of oxygen to the brain. Adequate iron levels can improve cognitive performance and reduce the risk of cognitive decline

Carbohydrates

Foods rich in carbohydrates are a steady source of energy to the body system including the brain. The brain relies on glucose for energy, and a consistent supply can help maintain focus and mental clarity.

Protein

Diets rich in protein do not only support the repair and growth of brain cells but also contribute to overall brain health
