Which foods are harmful for the brain  which foods likes our brain .

let's see which foods  likes  our brain, which foods it doesn't like or which foods are harmful for the brain. You will do a test on yourself. Suppose you are very hungry. While you're hungry, if you eat white carbohydrates I mean white rice, white bread or potatoes to your heart's content, then how will you feel? In another situation, suppose you are very hungry.

At that time, instead of eating carbohydrates, I meant white rice and white bread, completely excluding them. If you eat protein-based foods like meat, pulses, or chickpeas, eat them. How do you feel, then?

I'm pretty sure that if you eat white rice when you are hungry, in that case, your brain will feel a bit sluggish. You will prefer to take some rest from doing your work. Perhaps you may feel a little bit of drowsiness.

 On the other hand, if you eat protein-based foods when you're hungry, you'll feel less lethargic and your brain will feel more alert. The question is, eating white rice makes our brain feel a little lazy. On the other hand, eating protein-based foods makes our brain feel a little more alert.

 Why does this actually happen?

 Our brain is only 2% of the weight of our whole body, which means that the brain of a 60-kg person will weigh only 1.2 kilograms. But the amount of energy we deplete throughout the day, the brain itself consumes 20% of that energy.

So, where does this power come from?   From food. Food for the brain comes from the food we eat. This means that what we eat can affect our brain health. A study conducted on young adults looked at how the foods we eat in our daily lives affect our brains.

 It turns out that young people who aren't eating enough brain-healthy food in their diet have what they call a low-quality diet.

 So those who eat this low-quality diet are 79% more likely to suffer from depression. On the other hand, a study was conducted on adults. This study was followed up for six years. Here, it was seen how foods with trans fats affect the brain.

It was seen that those who ate foods high in trans fat had a 42% increased risk of depression over the next six years. Back in the day there was a saying that eating sugar is good for the brain. This is completely wrong.

 This matter is very interesting. For the health of our brain or to function properly, several micronutrients, antioxidants, and vitamins are needed. These are processed or synthesized by the brain itself.

 consuming sugar by white rice, red rice, bread, wheat bread, white bread means simple carbohydrates or oats.

To do these glucose is needed. This means that our brain needs a continuous supply of glucose. So, you can supply glucose to the brain in three ways. Usually, we read these three ways.

 Number One is by consuming sugar. Number two is white rice; white bread means simple carbohydrates by eating those. Number three is red rice, bread, wheat bread, or oats. All carbs that are fibrous by eating them. Supplying glucose through sugar is not an option because eating sugar causes other damage to the brain.

Number two is white carbohydrates. The problem with white carbohydrates is that they release glucose into the blood very quickly. It  maybe  seen that there is a lot of glucose in the blood within half an hour of eating. Then again, within two hours, it might have declined very rapidly. And if you supply glucose to the brain through complex carbohydrates, which means brown rice, bread, or all carbohydrates that contain fiber, then it's the best.

 Because they will slowly release glucose into the blood, it will remain in a steady state for a long time what the brain likes the most. This is a matter of glucose, which is the basic need of the brain. Where will all the ingredients needed to keep the brain healthy come from?

Where will all the nutrients that are needed come from?

 Fatty fish  60% of our brain is made up of fat.

 Now I'm going to name a few foods that may help provide your brain with all those nutrients and boost your brain.

Number one is fatty fish. 60% of our brain is made up of fat. And half of this fat is made up of omega-3 fatty acids.

 Our brain uses these omega-3 fatty acids to build itself, making new nerve cells. People who are deficient in this omega-3 fatty acid may have learning difficulties and are prone to depression.

 A part of our brain is called gray matter. This gray matter contains the largest number of nerve cells. And this gray matter controls our decision-making, controls our memory retention. Studies have shown that people who eat more fish in their diet have more gray matter in their brains than others. So, to keep the brain healthy, we need to eat more fish with omega-3 fatty acids.

Which fishs can get more omega-3 fatty acids.

 Fish from which you can get more omega-3 fatty acids are 'Bombay duck', 'Barramundi', 'Ribbon', 'Swamp barb', 'Long whiskered catfish', 'Prawn', 'Hilsha', 'Carp', 'Rohu', 'Walking Catfish', 'Climbing Perch', 'Ganges River Gizzard Shad' etc.

So, every week, we should eat fish for at least four days to keep our brain healthy.

 Sweet pumpkin seeds

It is rich in antioxidants that help protect our brain from oxidative stress. Also, sweet pumpkin seeds contain nutrients like magnesium, iron, copper, zinc, etc., which are very useful for our brain.

 Dark chocolate.

 Most of the chocolates we buy at the market contain more milk and sugar than chocolate. Dark chocolate refers to the chocolate that contains more than 70% cocoa. Dark chocolate is rich in flavonoids.This flavonoid has two important functions. Number one is they help to boost our memory. 

Number two is as we age, our memory begins to decline somewhat. So, Flavonoids prevent the age-related decline of our brain.This means that if you eat more dark chocolate, the age-related decline of your brain that used to occur may be prevented or slowed down.

 Egg

 Relatively affordable but very beneficial for the brain. It contains many types of micronutrients ,one of which is choline. After choline enters our body, it turns into acetylcholine. It is a neurotransmitter. The brain uses that to regulate our mood and memory.

Apart from this, eggs contain vitamin B6, B12 and folate. Various studies have shown that if there is a deficiency of these elements, a person is more likely to get depression. Apart from this, the age-related mental decline that occurs these elements can also prevent that.

So, to keep our brain healthy and functioning, we all should eat one to two eggs every day.

 Nuts

  It is rich in healthy fats, contains vitamin E and antioxidants. These are very important for our brain health . A study shows that people who eat almonds every day, their brain is sharper than those who don't eat. If you want to sharpen your brain, you may eat half a cup to a cup of almonds every day.

 Green tea.

 Nowadays, green tea, green coffee that are sold online that says these can help loose weight, you can't drink these. These  damage your internal organs. Green teas that are normally available in stores or online can help boost your brain or keep your brain healthy.

 It was given by my labmate Quentin. When the kidneys are damaged, waste materials cannot be removed from our bodies. So, they get trapped in the body. When these waste products float with the blood and travel to the brain how these waste products damage the brain is the main focus of the research.

We are doing this research on rats.

 This is called a stress ball, By typing stress ball

 Let's talk about an interesting study, this study is conducted on dialysis patients. When a person's kidneys deteriorate to a point where they no longer want to work at all, they need dialysis.

The work of dialysis is the work that the kidneys used to do, dialysis will actually do that but not as efficiently as the kidneys. But the rough work is worth carrying on.

 This study was conducted on 45 dialysis patients. Here it's seen that if patients press a stress ball during dialysis, whether their stress decreases or other vital signs change.

  So, 23 people were given these stress balls in eight dialysis sessions. And in each session they are allowed to press it for 10-15 minutes. As I have repeatedly said, they were actually given regular stress balls, not brain shaped ones. So, anyway, 22 people were not given stress balls.

So the results showed that actually this stress ball did not change the vital signs of the dialysis patients or provide them with any physical comfort but it really reduced the stress and significantly, it reduced a lot. 

So how does this thing reduce our stress? When we squeeze it or press it, the muscles we are using to press it ,they and the nerves within them, may be contracted and stimulated which may affect our overall nervous system.

 Then the overall nervous system will release the necessary hormones that may reduce our stress. Stress balls may also help in many other ways such as reducing anxiety, lowering blood pressure, increasing concentration and creativity at work. It may also improve your sleep.

 Here are some ways of using this stress ball.

 First one is you will take the ball in the palm .After that, with four fingers of yours, with these fingers

Press down the center, hold for five seconds, then release. Again, in the same way, hold it for five seconds and release.

The second way is that you will hold the ball with both palms and make sure you keep your elbows together.

Then like this press it, hold for five seconds, release. Press again, hold for five seconds, release.

 The third rule is the one most people follow. Because it is the easiest to do. And you can do it during any other task if you just have one hand free. For this, just take the ball in your hand and squeeze it as you wish. Hold for five seconds, release, hold again for five seconds, release. 

                        So, this is the situation.

                                                                  Thanks for giving me.

                                                 Stay   healthy     Stay      well
