Three diets to make your head look strong, take out your notebook and write it down!

Mediterranean diet
Increasing the intake of non-refined grains (whole grains in the diet), such as vegetables, fish, beans, olive oil, etc., can resist oxidation and regulate calcium stability, maintain normal nerve and muscle cells, and relax nerves and make people feel comfortable.

Antioxidant nutrients
To be beautiful, you need antioxidants. The four most important groups are vitamin C, vitamin E, resveratrol, and anthocyanins.

DHA
The main function of DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) is to help flexible thinking. It is an especially important nutrient for school-age children, teenagers, and candidates. In addition, pregnant women who want their babies to supplement nutrients during pregnancy and groups who need to think more flexibly at work are also suitable for supplementation. For example, cod, salmon, mackerel, kelp, walnuts, oysters, peanuts, sesame, etc. are rich in DHA.
Vitamin E: It is a fat-soluble antioxidant substance, mostly distributed on the surface of cell membranes and lipoproteins in blood. It can prevent lipid peroxidation, thereby protecting cell membranes and maintaining normal functions. The best food sources are soybeans, corn, nuts, green vegetables and vegetable oils, such as wheat germ oil, sunflower seed oil, almonds, hazelnuts, etc., which can help prevent bladder cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, etc.

Vitamin C: Also comes from dark green and yellow vegetables and fruits, such as guava, kiwi, pepper, tomato, avocado, etc. Vitamin C tablets are often found in nutritional supplements. It is recommended not to take a large amount of vitamin C at one time, but to take it in divided doses within a day, which can achieve better antioxidant effects and reduce the risk of stones.

Resveratrol: It has antioxidant effects, helps us maintain metabolism, improve elasticity, maintain youthful appearance, and regulate complexion. Resveratrol can adjust physical fitness, enhance protection and repair power, and is very suitable for women who are busy outside and working hard for life, resisting the harm of dust and suspended particles in the air and maintaining a good complexion.
Anthocyanins: They can help remove toxic chemicals and free radicals from the body, reduce damage to the lens and retina of the eye, maintain brain health, penetrate deep into cells to protect cell membranes from being oxidized by free radicals, protect brain nerves from being oxidized, stabilize brain tissue function, and protect the brain from being damaged by harmful chemicals and toxins. Vegetables such as blueberries, cranberries, grapes, and broccoli are rich in anthocyanins, and berries have a particularly high content!
