What Foods that can Improve Memory?




Improving memory with food? Perhaps the first time we think of it is, is there any connection between the memories with the usual foods we eat? If we associate it directly, maybe it's a bit ridiculous. But let us see the effects in terms of food content. Turns out there are some substances that are believed capable of improving memory.

Some foods that can improve memory, among them are:

1. Egg, a source of protein. Egg yolks contain choline (a substance that can improve memory).

2. Peanut butter which was one source of vitamin E which are antioxidants that can protect nerve cell membranes. Together with thiamin, vitamin E helps the brain and nervous system in use glucose for energy needs.

3. Colored vegetables (such as tomatoes, kale, pumpkin, carrots, and spinach) are vegetables that are rich sources of nutrients and antioxidants that will keep brain cells strong and healthy.

4. Milk and Yogurt contains high protein and vitamin B which play a role in the growth of brain tissue, neurotransmitters and enzymes.

5. Some red or purple fruits such as blueberries, apples, grapes, and cherries. It's because the photochemical that colors them, anthocyanin, is the same photochemical that's good for brain.







Besides food, there are a few tips as well, such as:

1. Do sports that keep our stamina and adequate rest.

2. Memory training activities that can improve memory. For example, counting, doing crossword puzzles or quizzes.
