It would be great to have an assistant to select the essential vitamins for full brain nourishment, while also being assured of safety and no harm. If this is what you are thinking, the Anti-Aging Medicine Center at Phyathai 2 Hospital understands and is ready to take care of your (brain)!
Why does the brain need nourishment?
Because the brain is an important organ with the most blood vessels supplying it, storing information that creates knowledge, memory, and intelligence. It is like the highest command center, controlling the body’s functions such as muscle movement, sensation, speech, vision, smell, taste, balance, and smooth movement. The brain works better when it receives energy, various nutrients, oxygen, balanced hormones, and a good mental state also plays a role.
Brain nourishment… is something that must be done at every age!
The first thing everyone must change their perspective on regarding brain care is the timing of when the brain should be cared for because most people think the brain should be nourished only in old age. But in reality…
-
- We use our brains heavily from adolescence with studying, reading, exam preparation, and tackling various problems.
- We use our brains heavily during working age and middle age to plan work, produce quality work, create outstanding achievements for recognition and economic stability.
- We use our brains heavily in old age, both from work that some still have to continuously manage and taking care of family members. Daily activities require a lot of brain use, and with increasing age, brain degeneration also increases accordingly.
Brain care tips
-
- Eat a balanced diet with all five food groups, have breakfast every day, and eat foods that help nourish the brain, such as
-
-
- Vitamin B6 helps produce brain chemicals and is found in meat, organ meats, and grains.
- Vitamin B12 helps produce healthy red blood cells and nourish nerve tissues. It is found only in meat, fish, poultry, and dairy products. A deficiency in vitamin B12 may cause peripheral neuropathy.
- Choline is an important nutrient classified as a B vitamin. Choline is essential for the body as it is a component of cell membranes, brain membranes, muscles, and nerve cells. It helps with neurotransmitters used in brain nerve signal transmission. Choline is found in egg yolks, organ meats, soybeans, peanuts, rice bran, oats, cabbage, cauliflower, meat, fish, etc. Soybeans are a cholesterol-free and low-fat source of choline.
- Ginkgo biloba helps increase blood flow to the brain, hands, and feet, which is one cause of blood vessel blockage supplying the brain. When the brain lacks blood supply, it deteriorates and atrophies, affecting brain function and efficiency.
- Rosemary extract stimulates brain function related to memory, improving memory and concentration, stimulating blood circulation and the nervous system, increasing blood flow to the brain.
- Adequate rest is important because insufficient rest affects brain function, both in thinking and brain alertness.
- Exercise should be done to get the heart pumping fully, as exercise helps brain functions related to decision-making and memory.
- Brain training is important because learning new things and playing beneficial brain games such as word games and chess are good brain exercises.
