Like all the organs of our body, the brain is also affected by the diet we follow every day. After all, as we have had the opportunity to repeat many times, the food we eat has a very strong impact on our health, both physical and mental. Not only in relation to mild disorders, such as, for example, the flu.
In fact, even more serious and important diseases could be exacerbated by an incorrect diet. The first suggestion, therefore, is to pay particular attention to what you eat every day. Aiming to take food as healthy and nutritious as possible.
Something extra
Compared to other populations, then, we Italians are starting in this sense with an extra gear. The foods that make up the Mediterranean diet are, in fact, envied and loved all over the world. Not only for the goodness, but also and above all for the enormous benefits they offer. Both to our body and also to our memory.
This brain-friendly crustacean could be a winning move to prevent Alzheimer’s and aging
As we have just revealed, therefore, some foods, typical of the Mediterranean diet, hide important benefits even at the level of brain health. Which, especially with advancing age, begins to cause concern to many.
In fact, there are many who rightly fear the appearance of ailments such as dementia, Alzheimer’s and other major problems. Also for this reason, some time ago, we wanted to explain how this behavior could turn out to be a wake-up call for dementia. In today’s article, however, we will not focus so much on possible symptoms, as much as on what we can do to keep our nervous system healthy. In particular through the food diet.
Let’s see, in fact, why this crustacean ally of the brain could be a winning move to prevent Alzheimer’s and aging. We refer to the very good crabs. Many may not know it, but these shellfish, in addition to being extremely tasty, are also capable of bringing incredible benefits to brain health. Not only because they have an important amount of Omega 3, but also and above all because they contain a notable presence of copper.
Which, as can also be seen on the website of the Veronesi Foundation, proves to be extremely useful for the health of the nervous system. As it improves the connections between brain cells and, therefore, facilitates the work of neurotransmitters. Also for this reason it could be an excellent idea to include crabs in our diet with balance and conscience. Always, of course, first hearing the doctor’s opinion.
