We’ve all heard the adage, "You are what you eat." But there’s a real connection between the food we consume and the functionality of our brains. In The Healthy Mind Cookbook, chef, nutritionist and author Rebecca Katz reveals the top eight brain-boosting foods. Just remember to add these to your grocery list next time you hit the market. 我们都听过这样的格言：“吃什么补什么。”我们所吃的食物真的关系着我们的大脑功能。厨师、营养学家兼作家丽贝卡·卡茨在《补脑健康食谱》中列出了补脑排名前八的食物。下次要记得购买这八种食物。 Mint 薄荷 The herb has vitamin A, which can increase the brain’s plasticity, and vitamin C, which may protect against memory loss. Plus, the scent increases alertness. 这种草本植物含有维生素A，对大脑有提高可塑性的作用；也含有维生素C，能防止记忆力减退。另外，薄荷香味有提神醒脑的作用。 Walnuts 核桃 Eat these nuts with the skins on--that’s where the powerful antioxidant phenols reside. They're also a good source of magnesium, which may help regulate sleeping patterns. 吃核桃仁的时候不要剥掉核桃衣，强大的抗氧化剂苯酚都在这层衣上。核桃也富含镁，有助于调节睡眠模式。 Avocado 鳄梨（牛油果） The darlings of the produce section, avocados are full of carotenoids, which help improve brain performance. Plus, they’re loaded with healthy fats, which keep inflammation under control and lower the risk of heart disease. Heart healthy = brain healthy. |
