Food
1. Blueberry.
This berry contains many antioxidants that will help destroy free radicals that destroy cells.
2. Raspberry.
Raspberries contain organic acids, various trace elements and vitamins of all groups. This berry increases work capacity, has a beneficial effect on blood formation processes and helps maintain clarity of thinking. Copper contained in raspberries is a component of many antidepressants.
3. Eggs help to maintain a good memory and clarity of thinking.
Choline – the precursor of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (which is associated with memory and thinking) is found in eggs. It increases mental abilities. Its lowest level was found in people with Alzheimer’s disease. Food rich in choline improves the ability to remember, analyze information and be productive.
4. Water.
Dehydration can be the result of long-term exposure to high temperatures (for example, being in the open sun or in a stuffy room). But the result, as in the case of alcoholic beverages, can have negative consequences – the destruction of brain cells. Because of this, the nervous system malfunctions, which negatively affects a person’s intellectual abilities.
Lifestyle
1. Stress
Stress is considered a rather useful reaction of the body, which is activated in response to any possible threat. The main defenders are hormones of the adrenal glands (cortisol, adrenaline and norepinephrine), they stimulate the reactions of the body, which are necessary for its safety. But an excessive amount of these hormones (for example, in a situation of chronic stress), in particular cortisol, can cause the death of brain cells and the development of terrible diseases due to weakened immunity. The destruction of brain cells can cause the development of mental illnesses (schizophrenia), and weakened immunity is usually accompanied by the development of serious ailments, the most common of which are cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes.
2. Drugs.
Drugs are specific chemicals that destroy brain cells and disrupt the functioning of synapses in it. As a result of the action of narcotic substances, receptors are activated, causing the production of abnormal signals that cause hallucinogenic manifestations. This process occurs thanks to the increase in the level of certain hormones, which has such an effect on the body: on the one hand, a large amount, for example, of dopamine, contributes to the effect of euphoria, but on the other hand, it damages the neurons responsible for mood regulation. The more such neurons are damaged, the more difficult it is for the addict to achieve the desired state. Thus, not only does the clarity of thinking deteriorate, but the body also needs a larger dose of narcotic substances, developing addiction.
Lead a healthy lifestyle, eat healthy food and your clarity of thinking will improve quickly. If you quickly need to concentrate, be productive and intellectually active, take Modalert or Modavigil.
