For a healthy brain and good memory: 5 best breakfast habits

0

Many people worry about the development of dementia, because it is not yet known for sure why it happens and how to prevent the disease. Clinical statistics show that maintaining optimal blood pressure, quitting smoking, not being overweight, eating healthy and exercising regularly seem to play a role in preventing dementia.

According to experts, one of the key meals include breakfast. “This is an opportunity to provide the body with nutrients that can slow aging and delay the development of chronic diseases such as dementia in later years,” said nutritionist Justin Chan. Experts identify five morning eating habits that can improve brain health.

Snack on walnuts

Boiled eggs for breakfast

Studies have shown that children who eat eggs with yolks improve short-term learning, attention and memory compared to children who eat egg whites or yogurt.

In addition, eggs can also help the elderly to improve brain function. Scientists came to this conclusion during a study involving 25,000 people aged 30 to 70. Experts have found a link between egg consumption and a reduced risk of dementia, particularly Alzheimer's disease.

Make oatmeal your morning porridge

Fruit Smoothie

A great morning habit, especially for those who like to skip breakfast, is to drink a fruit shake in the morning. The main rule is that it should be prepared according to all the canons of healthy nutrition. Doctors recommend adding berries and leafy green vegetables to such a strip. According to them, these are two brain-healthy food groups that have been shown to reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease by 53% when consumed regularly.

Keep bad carbs out of breakfast

Most often morning tea or coffee is accompanied by a doughnut, cookie or sweet bun. “In the short term, baked goods made with excessive amounts of refined sugar and saturated or trans fats can slow down the brain and cause mental fatigue due to constant spikes in glucose levels,” warned nutritionist Trista Best.
