The fats that our brain does need are polyunsaturated fats. They contain fatty acids that help keep our brains in top form. That is the story of the omega 3 and the omega 6. These two types of fatty acids must be in balance. However, in reality, most people get an excess of omega-6 fatty acid. The supply of arachidonic acid (the omega 6 fatty acid that the brain must get out of the diet) therefore rarely or never poses a problem … unless it is excessive because too much omega 6 leads to more prostaglanins, and they initiate an inflammatory process the vascular wall started, leading to blood clotting.
In addition to arachidonic acid in Brain Pills, the brain also needs a second fatty acid, called DHA for short. It is one of the omega 3 fatty acids that we mainly find in fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines, herring, …) and in linseed. The supply of this omega 3 fatty acid is insufficient for many people and according to research a low DHA level can sometimes be associated with memory problems. So put fatty fish on the menu once or twice a week or mix linseed under your breakfast cereals.
Avoid a lack of vitamin B
Vitamins are not only important building blocks for our body, they are also needed to make optimal use of the various skills of our memory. Especially the different vitamins from the B group have an influence on the production of certain neurotransmitters. Shortages occur mainly in people who eat insufficient or unbalanced food and in people who abuse alcohol. Insufficient vitamin B1 would cause reduced vigilance and a longer response time.
In alcoholics, a lack of vitamin B1 can lead to Korsakov’s syndrome, which is characterized by memory problems and problems with orientation in time and space. Too little vitamin B2 promotes stress and tension, and a deficiency of vitamin B12 gives confusion and is also mentioned as a possible cause of a certain form of dementia. Unfortunately the clock cannot be turned back. The brain cells that have been destroyed by a shortage of vitamin B12 no longer recover. A deficiency of vitamin B12 can occur due to poor absorption of this vitamin (therefore supplements are often injected). Vegetarians also run an increased risk of deficiency because B12 almost exclusively occurs in animal products.
Folic acid must in turn be sufficiently present to prevent irritability, memory problems and slow thinking.
