What should senior high school students eat to improve their brain health?

Under China's current educational system, senior year of high school is undoubtedly a watershed in life. Whether one can do well in the college entrance examination and be admitted to the ideal university will largely determine a person's life. The third year of high school is the most important year in the ten years of study, and the learning outcomes of this year largely determine your grades. Therefore, many people will deliberately eat more brain-boosting foods during this period. So what should they eat more?

1What should high school students eat to nourish their brains?

1. Walnuts

It is well known that walnuts are good for the brain. Walnuts are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which can prevent cerebral blood vessel blockage and nourish the brain and improve intelligence. However, walnuts are relatively dry food and should not be consumed too much, otherwise it will easily cause constipation and nosebleeds.

2. Quail Eggs

Quail eggs can be said to be the best brain tonic before the college entrance examination. Although the protein and fat content of quail eggs is comparable to that of chicken eggs, the lecithin and cephalin they contain are 3 to 4 times higher than that of chicken eggs. These two substances are indispensable nutrients for higher nervous activities. Eating them regularly is especially effective in strengthening and nourishing the brain. The reason why quail eggs are good for brain supplementation is that they contain a high content of vitamin D, which is unmatched by eggs from other poultry.

3. Pumpkin

Senior high school students can also eat some pumpkin appropriately. Pumpkin is rich in vitamin A and vitamin C, and is also rich in zinc and potassium. Pumpkin is sweet and mild in nature. If high school students have problems with learning fatigue, eating pumpkin appropriately can also achieve a good effect of clearing the mind and nourishing the brain. It can effectively improve various symptoms such as dizziness and irritability caused by long-term brain use. Pumpkin can be made into pumpkin porridge and drunk every morning and evening, which is also very good for one's intestinal health.

4. Sesame

Sesame is also a tonic with very high nutritional value. It is also rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which can supplement the linoleic acid, linolenic acid and other molecular substances needed by the brain. It also helps to promote the efficient operation of the brain and eliminate impurities in the blood vessels. It is also very beneficial for brain supplementation. Senior high school students can also eat some black sesame seeds to improve their academic performance.

1Things to pay attention to when supplementing the brain for high school seniors

1. Choose more foods that are brain-nourishing and easy to digest and absorb. The main brain-boosting foods include fish, soy products, lean meat, eggs, milk, fresh vegetables, fruits, etc. Also, don't eat too much food that is high in sugar.

2. Nutrition should be balanced and meat and vegetables should be reasonably matched. The diet during the college entrance examination should not be too greasy, and should be a reasonable combination of meat and vegetables. "One bite of meat, two bites of rice, three bites of vegetables and four bites of fruit" is a more appropriate proportion.

3. The types of food can be richer and the cooking methods should also be more diverse. While taking care of their children's usual dietary preferences, parents can appropriately adjust the taste and food type, and can also try some different cooking methods, such as steaming, boiling and stir-frying, but be careful to use as little spicy seasoning as possible.

4. The arrangements between the three meals should be treated differently. You can add more meat dishes at lunch, but you don’t need to reduce the amount of food at dinner. For breakfast, you can focus on carbohydrate staples, such as porridge, rice and noodles, to provide nutrition directly to the brain; for lunch, you should add more high-quality protein; for dinner, you can choose some light, stomach-nourishing food, and also have high-quality protein, which is conducive to sleep at night.
