If the body is considered as a continuous run of complex machines, you must have the faith in their own ways to safeguard it, improve it.

Body composition, and ultimately come from the intake of food, through long-term intake of useful food, excluding unwanted food, you will be able to gradually improve the body of the material, making it the most suitable for the operation of this machine. I will be the long-term efforts as a body DIY — as you update your computer, simply update the machine need patience.

The physical host computer course is your brain.

Since you often host patch, you should also have the confidence to improve brain — by selecting the proper food and a good way of life.

How to choose yinao foods? here provides a simple principle, typically, in the heart of harmful or beneficial for the brain to cause the same effect — because the brain is also through blood Gets the nutrients and oxygen.

For example, saturated fat will block access to the heart of the arteries, causing coronary atherosclerosis, it can also block access to the brain's blood vessels, increases the chance of stroke. Unsaturated fatty acids on heart, is also beneficial to the human brain, because it makes the artery patency. Therefore, rich in unsaturated fats of nuts, fish is excellent for brain.

Another example, homocysteine digestion of proteins in the body is a byproduct of the way, it will cause the rupture of artery wall or inflammation occurs, when the body homocysteine above a certain concentration will be a threat to the arteries, it directly affects the heart, also affects the brain.

Therefore, seeking to bring high homocysteine levels fell to normal value, is the heart and brain of win-win initiatives — a daily supplement of folic acid 700 µg, can significantly reduce the body's high homocysteine levels that prevent it from erosion of the artery wall. In fact, older most likely to lack of vitamins is folic acid. Contains folic acid foods with Aloe and sunflower seeds, etc.

And these gratifying food compared to some, but often used to yinao tonic unworthy fame.

For example, many people believe that food Ginkgo (ginkgo seeds) has longevity and improve brain function.

But recent research data indicate that Ginkgo in this regard than placebo well not much.

As regards the market claims to be common in some of the brain's products, mostly by common amino acids, vitamins, and lecithin, because the content is not high, the benefits to the brain, not necessarily effective than food. I even heard a teacher describes the development of a brain oral solution, said to be directly extracted from the pig's brain, a pound pig's brain can extract many out ...

Some food for the brain to produce faster, so you can choose to try to influence brain function temporarily and play.

For example, some students exam easy sleepy, so that in a few hours before the examination it is best to avoid carbohydrates within content and protein content of food — last week said, because the sugar will promote insulin release, thereby accelerating the brain serotonin synthesis of, and as a candidate, where will need serotonin sedative, sleepy? the need to avoid food includes bread, white rice, etc (of course is not to say that not to eat, just need to adjust the proportion of food). On the other hand, some candidates are tension-type, then he may need to add some serotonin, some effects of sedation, which is more carbohydrate intake point.

Computer play normally need the right environment temperature, the human brain host asks a pleasant mood.

Long-term stress life will hasten the sustained pressure hormone secretion, this will cause the rapid depreciation of the brain components, like the host at a high temperature work easily break dishes. Life if continuously burst so jaded events — long overtime, and colleagues relations, indebtedness, insomnia, your brain in physiological conditions will be like a parabola-like falling rapidly, and as the brain a well-maintained good working environment, it will peacefully old.
