這些飲食能讓你更聰明

Brain boosters

大腦促進劑

We all know that eating well leads to a healthy body but did you know that certain foods can also enhance your brain's functions? A better memory and healthy brain is just a forkful away, so start packing your plate with these brain-boosting foods today.

我們都知道吃得好能使人身體健康，但你知道嗎，有些食物還能增強大腦功能？你離更強的記憶力和健康的大腦只有一步之遙，所以從今天開始多吃這些促進大腦的食物吧。

Complex carbohydrates

複合碳水化合物

That's right it's OK to eat certain carbs, in fact it's recommended. Complex carbs, which are found in wholegrain breads and brown rice, provide a slow release of glucose to the brain. Glucose fuels the brain cells responsible for concentration, memory and learning.

沒錯，有些碳水化合物是可以吃的，事實上，是建議吃這些碳水化合物。全麥麪包和糙米都含有複合碳水化合物，能向大腦釋放葡萄糖。葡萄糖可促進負責注意力集中、記憶和學習的腦細胞。

Coffee

咖啡

Not only does it wake you up in the morning, your morning cuppa also boosts your brain power. Research shows that not only does coffee improve memory, it also speeds up your reaction times. Ongoing coffee consumption has even been associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer's disease.

清晨一杯咖啡不僅能喚醒你的早晨，還能提高腦力。研究表明咖啡不僅能提高記憶力，而且還能縮短反應時間。一直喝咖啡甚至能降低患阿爾茲海默症的風險。

Tea

茶

If coffee isn't your thing, the good news is tea is just as helpful. Tea is bursting with antioxidants that increase neuron production in your brain. A study published in Molecular Nutrition & Food Research found that EGCG, an inorganic compound in green tea, prevents memory loss and degenerative diseases.

如果你不喜歡喝咖啡，那好消息就是：茶也有同樣的效果。茶含有抗氧化劑，能促進大腦中神經元的生成。發表在《分子營養與食物研究》上的一項研究發現：綠茶中的無機化合物表沒食子兒茶素沒食子酸酯能預防記憶喪失和退行性疾病。

Sage

鼠尾草

Recent studies indicate that taking sage oil can enhance and improve memory performance. To inject more sage into your life, try it in tea, add to pasta or even chew on a few raw leaves - it's also an instant breath freshener.

最近的研究表明，食用鼠尾草油能增強記憶。想要在生活中增加鼠尾草的攝入，那就在茶、意大利麪裏面加點吧，你還可以直接嚼鼠尾草葉--還能立刻清新口氣。

Salmon

三文魚

This tasty fish is packed with Omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for brain performance. Research finds that an Omega-3 deficiency can lead to fatigue, poor memory and mood swings. To prevent that happening load up on salmon - try wild over farmed as it has higher levels of Omega-3.

美味的三文魚富含歐米茄3脂肪酸，對於智力來說至關重要。研究發現：缺乏歐米茄3會導致疲勞、記憶力差和陰晴不定。想要防止這種事情發生，那就多吃點三文魚吧--要吃就吃野生三文魚，不要吃人工飼養的，因爲野生的歐米茄3含量更高。

Egg yolk

蛋黃

While most people only eat the egg white to be healthy, the yolk is the real gem, containing the memory-promoting nutrient choline. So next time you're making an omelet, use the whole egg.

雖然大多數人爲了健康只吃蛋清，但蛋黃纔是真正的精華，含有促進記憶的營養物--膽鹼。所以下一次做煎蛋卷時，一定要把整個蛋都放進去哦。

Broccoli

西蘭花

This veggie is loaded with Vitamin K which is known for strengthening cognitive abilities. Like egg yolks, broccoli also contains choline, which has been found to strengthen our memory.

西蘭花富含維生素K，衆所周知，維生素K能增強認知能力。和蛋黃一樣，西蘭花也含有膽鹼，能增強我們的記憶力。

Strawberries

草莓

A study published in 2012 found that greater intakes of strawberries were associated with slower rates of cognitive decline in older adults. This is because berries are loaded with flavonoids, an antioxidant that may have memory and mood-enhancing properties.

2012年發表的一項研究表明：老年人多吃草莓能減緩認知下降的速度。因爲草莓富含類黃酮素，這是一種可能會增強記憶、使人開心的抗氧化劑。
