Oh... Hallo.
Today's post is about your...
Brain.
Oh shoot, I forgot you don't have one.
JUST KIDDING!
Well, I will now do something I have never done before, but I, as a Queen of Pickles, must provide you... -ahem- Pickles, with tips to live your life like a boss!
I suppose you don't know yet that Sugar can trigger some pleasure centre in your brain, and it will make your memory worse?
And because you all go to Pickle-Schools,you need a good dose of advice on how to improve your already bad memory!
- Keep sugar to a minimum! About 20 grams a day is just fine, but keep sugar at bay as an occasional treat.
- Omega-3 fatty acids work wonders. In fact, my mom is making some trout for me downstairs. I used to have some Omega-3 pills or something. Anyway, good sources of Omega-3 are foods like Salmon,Flaxseed Oil, Tuna,Walnuts and Eggs. Eat them regularly!
- Antioxidants. Those will protect and improve memory. Berries, Blueberries, Garlic,Carrots,Spinach,Tea,Tomatoes...
- Protein! Foods like Dairy,Eggs,Seafood and Soy are great sources.
- Water! Dehydration can do all sorts of nasty things to your brain, and your body, so consider having at least 1.5 litres of water daily. But not all at once. Seriously. Unless you wanna die like that Hold your pee for a wii thing XD When at school,get water in every opportunity you can. If in Primary, get a water bottle from home and keep one in your lunch box. Refill the one from home at Break and Lunchtimes, using water fountains or something. If in Secondary,get food from the canteen. At my school, you can get food before morning registration,break and lunch. Either way, JUST GET THE FOOD! Er... water
- Vitamins! Vitamins are super important if you really care about your brain. Deficiencies of vitamins can cause learning impairment, so stock up on Vitamins C, B6,B12,Iron,Calcium and many other vitamins. Good sources are fruits and vegetables.
- Fiber is super important for the proper functioning of your brain. It can ensure sugar is absorbed at a gradual pace and help your memory. Dried fruits,Vegetables, Peas,Beans,Nuts,Seeds,Fruit,Whole grains...
- Coconuts! I love coconuts, don't you? The best source of brain goodies from coconuts is the oil, which really helps your brain and provides it with energy. Coconut oil can be mixed and added to dishes to make them taste better and... ENHANCE THE FLAVOUR!
- Tea. Especially Green tea, but other teas can also give your memory a boost. Just drink tea on a regular basis.It's packed with antioxidants.
- Away from food topics, play memory games! Good memory games are things like those match-up ones, like Snap!,crosswords,word searches and many more. If you don't want to get off your butt right now, virtual worlds like Animal Jam and Bin Weevils have some good memory games. Play those and your brain will be trained!
Bye!
I have fish, nuts, and eggs everyday as I'm a pescetarian :3 and I also take cod liver oil and have tea regularly, and I eat loads of carrots and tomatoes.
