Food for Thought

Intelligence is something that determines the fate of
people. It has made the world move and hence made our
movements easier. All of us want to add on to our
intelligence. It is the human nature that we do not want to
work hard to get more intelligent. Instead, many people
rely on certain type of food to get more intelligent. The
question is whether these food and supplements actually
help you become more intelligent.

Some fatty fish such as tuna, sardines and mackerel contain
fish oils that help the brain of the embryo develop. These
fish oils also help the development of child when he is on
breast-feeding. These fatty fish are unarguably the best
natural resource for the development of the brain.

Research also shows that close pregnancies do indeed
inhibits mother's supply of essential fatty acids required
for brain development. Otherwise the chances of a child
going short are quite less. The developing world is beset
with problems of malnutrition, short interval between two
pregnancies. As a result, brain-developing nutrient is
short and this adversely affects the mental growth of many
children in these areas.

It's also true that we need food for our brains to work.
Ideally we need a decent balance of foods because our brain
makes use of different foods for it's work. First of all,
just like a baby's, an adult's brain needs fatty acids to
work properly. The brain also takes Amino Acids from
proteins and makes the neurotransmitters so brain cells can
communicate with one another. It uses carbohydrates as fuel,
extracting the glucose they contain. And it takes the micro
nutrients that are found in fruits & vegetables to make
antioxidants to protect brain cells from damage.

The above-mentioned nutrients can be had from a number of
sources. Regular and balanced diet could give you an
excellent and efficient brain. So take daily doses of
proteins, carbohydrates, fatty acids and micronutrients.
All these can be had from meat, fish, eggs, nuts, pulses,
bread, potatoes, rice, fish and fresh apples. Never eat to
your heart's content at one go, just eat at intervals of a
few hours four to five times a day.

But what about foods that do more than just keep the brain
ticking over? Well, recent research has suggested that
Indian curries may be able to fight off Alzheimer's disease.
Scientists working at the University of California Los
Angeles found that the yellow turmeric, or more precisely
the curcumin it contains, may be able to do the trick.

The experiment that proved it was simple. Rats were fed
curcumin in lab conditions. As a result, beta-amyloid
levels in their brains dropped. This protein is the root
cause of Alzheimer's disease and the success of this
experiment suggests that the fight against this disease is
on the right track. Hence brain-deterioration that occurs
in this disease could be reversed. This would be a source
of relief to many of the patients of this deadly disease.
