这些饮食能让你更聪明

Brain boosters

大脑促进剂

We all know that eating well leads to a healthy body but did you know that certain foods can also enhance your brain's functions? A better memory and healthy brain is just a forkful away, so start packing your plate with these brain-boosting foods today.

我们都知道吃得好能使人身体健康，但你知道吗，有些食物还能增强大脑功能？你离更强的记忆力和健康的大脑只有一步之遥，所以从今天开始多吃这些促进大脑的食物吧。

Complex carbohydrates

复合碳水化合物

That's right it's OK to eat certain carbs, in fact it's recommended. Complex carbs, which are found in wholegrain breads and brown rice, provide a slow release of glucose to the brain. Glucose fuels the brain cells responsible for concentration, memory and learning.

没错，有些碳水化合物是可以吃的，事实上，是建议吃这些碳水化合物。全麦面包和糙米都含有复合碳水化合物，能向大脑释放葡萄糖。葡萄糖可促进负责注意力集中、记忆和学习的脑细胞。

Coffee

咖啡

Not only does it wake you up in the morning, your morning cuppa also boosts your brain power. Research shows that not only does coffee improve memory, it also speeds up your reaction times. Ongoing coffee consumption has even been associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer's disease.

清晨一杯咖啡不仅能唤醒你的早晨，还能提高脑力。研究表明咖啡不仅能提高记忆力，而且还能缩短反应时间。一直喝咖啡甚至能降低患阿尔兹海默症的风险。

Tea

茶

If coffee isn't your thing, the good news is tea is just as helpful. Tea is bursting with antioxidants that increase neuron production in your brain. A study published in Molecular Nutrition & Food Research found that EGCG, an inorganic compound in green tea, prevents memory loss and degenerative diseases.

如果你不喜欢喝咖啡，那好消息就是：茶也有同样的效果。茶含有抗氧化剂，能促进大脑中神经元的生成。发表在《分子营养与食物研究》上的一项研究发现：绿茶中的无机化合物表没食子儿茶素没食子酸酯能预防记忆丧失和退行性疾病。

Sage

鼠尾草

Recent studies indicate that taking sage oil can enhance and improve memory performance. To inject more sage into your life, try it in tea, add to pasta or even chew on a few raw leaves - it's also an instant breath freshener.

最近的研究表明，食用鼠尾草油能增强记忆。想要在生活中增加鼠尾草的摄入，那就在茶、意大利面里面加点吧，你还可以直接嚼鼠尾草叶--还能立刻清新口气。

Salmon

三文鱼

This tasty fish is packed with Omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for brain performance. Research finds that an Omega-3 deficiency can lead to fatigue, poor memory and mood swings. To prevent that happening load up on salmon - try wild over farmed as it has higher levels of Omega-3.

美味的三文鱼富含欧米茄3脂肪酸，对于智力来说至关重要。研究发现：缺乏欧米茄3会导致疲劳、记忆力差和阴晴不定。想要防止这种事情发生，那就多吃点三文鱼吧--要吃就吃野生三文鱼，不要吃人工饲养的，因为野生的欧米茄3含量更高。

Egg yolk

蛋黄

While most people only eat the egg white to be healthy, the yolk is the real gem, containing the memory-promoting nutrient choline. So next time you're making an omelet, use the whole egg.

虽然大多数人为了健康只吃蛋清，但蛋黄才是真正的精华，含有促进记忆的营养物--胆碱。所以下一次做煎蛋卷时，一定要把整个蛋都放进去哦。

Broccoli

西兰花

This veggie is loaded with Vitamin K which is known for strengthening cognitive abilities. Like egg yolks, broccoli also contains choline, which has been found to strengthen our memory.

西兰花富含维生素K，众所周知，维生素K能增强认知能力。和蛋黄一样，西兰花也含有胆碱，能增强我们的记忆力。

Strawberries

草莓

A study published in 2012 found that greater intakes of strawberries were associated with slower rates of cognitive decline in older adults. This is because berries are loaded with flavonoids, an antioxidant that may have memory and mood-enhancing properties.

2012年发表的一项研究表明：老年人多吃草莓能减缓认知下降的速度。因为草莓富含类黄酮素，这是一种可能会增强记忆、使人开心的抗氧化剂。
