So what brain- boosting food and drink would I recommend? Coffee can have numerous benefits.
那么我会推荐哪些有助于大脑的食物和饮品呢?咖啡可以带来许多好处。
However, while coffee may make you more alert,individuals can build up a tolerance,meaning this is short-lived.
然而,虽然咖啡可能会让你更加警觉,但个体可能会逐渐产生耐受性,这意味着这种效果是短暂的。
Coffee can also increase blood sugar and eventually cause lack of focus and energy.
咖啡也可以提高血糖,最终导致注意力和能量的缺乏。
It's also worth noting that people react differently to coffee.
值得注意的是,人们对咖啡的反应各不相同。
Some people can drink it at midnight and go straight to sleep, whereas others get feelings of anxiety after a small amount.
有些人可以在午夜喝咖啡后直接入睡,而其他人即使是少量也会感到焦虑。
Also remember that coffee from a coffee shop may be stronger than coffee made at home.

So stop drinking coffee by 2 pm and have a maximum of 2 cups of coffee a day, but be aware of your own reaction to it.

Blueberries, like many dark colored fruits and vegetables,can slow down brain damage and age-related decline.

Frozen berries are also a good choice. They are usually cheap, last longer and don't lose their nutrients when frozen.

But flavored and coated nuts are less healthy as they contain added oil, salt and sugar.

Doctors often recommend taking vitamin supplements to top up on the nutrients you need, but I would say food should always come before supplements, and the key to getting as many nutrients as possible is to eat a varied diet with lots of different colors, such as frozen berries and dark green vegetables.
医生经常建议服用维生素补充剂来补充所需的营养,但我会说食物应该始终优先于补充剂,获取尽可能多营养的关键是吃多样化的饮食,包括许多不同颜色的食物,比如冷冻浆果和深绿色蔬菜。
It's better to get everything you need from food and drink.

Don't forget to drink a proper amount of water, which can boost attention by almost 25 percent and can elevate your mood as well.
别忘了喝适量的水,这可以将注意力提高近25%,也可以提升你的心情。
Finally, don't skip meals. Eating regularly will help keep blood sugar balanced and feed the brain with the fuel it needs.
