Some good nutrition for your brain

Tweet

Decrease the brain's performance can be experienced by anyone. Even those who were aged 30s. In order to function properly, the brain needs a balanced supply of nutrients.All the nutrients that are used by the body to produce essential substances called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This compound releases the stored energy to generate neurotransmitters, distribute proteins into cells and helps deliver electrical impulses.

To work the brain needs energy. Its source is glucose in the blood. The brain also requires amino acids, folic acid and vitamins and minerals.

Preferred amino acid for the brain is glutamate. He serves as a transmitter in more than half of the nerve terminals in the brain. Amino acids found in abundance in egg yolks, fresh milk, liver, and cheese. Also in yeast, some types of nuts, soybeans, and cereals.

In addition to amino acids and vitamins, the hormones estrogen is also useful to support the brain works. These hormones can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease in postmenopausal women.

Studies on laboratory mice showed that magnesium supplements were given an extra dose of a long-term memory better and have better learning abilities than mice who were not given magnesium.

"Both the young and old rats, magnesium increase the plasticity of synapses (connections between neuoron) and increase the density of synapses in the hippocampus, part of the brain involved in memory and learning ability," said Guosong Liu, director of the Center for Learning and Memory at Tsinghua University , Beijing, China.

Magnesium is a vital mineral that can be found in green vegetables, especially spinach. Magnesium also plays an important role in the formation of the body's immune system.

But before you buy supplements of magnesium, it should be noted also that this research is still preliminary and need further verification. In addition, the results of testing on animals is not always the same effect in humans.

5 tips fashion for men

Tweet

When we want to go somewhere, we need to match the clothes that we use in place we visit. Example, when we want to go to a party we have to wear a suit and shirt. When we went to the beach, of course, we use casual clothes, etc. As a man who love to socialize, of course, we also must be clever in the art of dressing. Because the first impression is important. When we look good in front of people, that person would have to respect us, or may be directly interested with us.

Here are some tips you can do when you want to change clothes for yourself.

1. Fit with your body
Baggy clothes will make you look like a child. Customize shirts with your posture, but also should not be too small.

2. Make it simple
Do not be too excessive in the use of clothing. Like too many colors, too many accessories that are used. Enough for the 3 colors used clothing. No more than 3 accessories are used.

3. Do not ever go shopping alone
When we go shopping alone, automatically we will ask the opinion of the local sales. Where he worked for the place. Surely he would always give a good opinion about the clothes you are going to buy, even if it turns out your clothes are not suitable. So invite at least one friend a guy or woman to give advice.

4. See details
A detailed look at the clothes you want to buy. How the seams, if there is a tear, etc.

5. Have a few pairs of shoes
Do not have 1 pair of shoes. Shoes are definitely going to be used continuously. The result will be quick shoe dirty and damaged. Women in general look of a man cleaning his shoes. They are very sensitive to this. you must have at least one or two pairs of shoes.
