Eggs: such as quail eggs and chicken eggs. Eggs are rich in protein, lecithin, vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, iron, etc., which are indispensable substances for brain metabolism. In addition, eggs contain more acetylcholine, which is necessary for the brain to complete memory. Therefore, eating one or two eggs a day is very beneficial for strengthening the body and brain.

Animal liver and kidneys are rich in iron. Iron is an important component of red blood cells. Regularly eating animal liver and kidney can provide sufficient iron in the body, and the red blood cells can carry enough oxygen to the brain, which can effectively improve the brain's working efficiency.

Fish can provide the brain with rich protein, fat, acid, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, etc., which are all important substances for the construction of brain cells and improving their vitality.

Soybeans and soy products contain about 40% high-quality protein, which is comparable to eggs and milk. At the same time, they also contain more lecithin, calcium, iron, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, etc., and are ideal brain-enhancing foods.

Millet is rich in protein, fat, calcium, iron, vitamin B1 and other nutrients and is known as the "brain-enhancing staple food." Millet also has the effect of preventing and treating neurasthenia.

Hard nuts, including peanuts, walnuts, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, pine nuts, hazelnuts, etc., contain large amounts of protein, unsaturated fats and acids, lecithin, inorganic salts and vitamins. Regular consumption is very beneficial for improving brain nutrition supply.

Daylily is rich in protein, fat, calcium, iron, and vitamin B1, all of which are substances needed for brain metabolism. Therefore, it is called a "brain-enhancing vegetable."

It should be noted that you should not eat too much sugar. Because when sugar enters the blood, it increases blood concentration, slows down blood flow, and makes it acidic. Slower blood flow can cause cerebral thrombosis; the acidic environment is not conducive to the transmission of information in the nervous system, thus making the brain react slowly.
