Foods That Improve Your Brain Function

Experts recommend that people should consume wholesome nutritious diets rich in a variety of vegetables and fruits. One should consume a minimum of five to seven servings of leafy green vegetables, berries, tomatoes and sweet potatoes. This type of diet is full of antioxidants which prevent the damage to brain cells caused by the free radicals.

Green vegetables and fish Oil are a must

A study carried out on 3,718 elderly residents from Chicago found that eating vegetables was associated with a reduced rate of cognitive decline. The study, which was published in the journal Neurology, found that the rate of decline was the slowest in people who consumed maximum number of green vegetables per day.
Similarly, other studied have found that consuming food rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon and tuna, and reducing the consumption of foods rich in saturated fats and cholesterol is also good for the health of the brain and prevents memory loss.

Eat berries and flavonoids

Another study, led by Elizabeth Devore and her colleagues from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, and published in the journal Annals of Neurology in July this year, found that berries and flavonoids also have an impact on the cognitive decline. This study began in 1980 and the participants of the Nurses’ Health study were asked to fill up food frequency questionnaire every four years. Cognitive functions of 16,010 participants above the age of 70 were assessed at every 2 years intervals beginning from 1995. The researchers found that the women who consumed more berries had a slower rate of decline of cognitive functions. The decline in the mental functions was slowed by about 2 ½ years. The researchers also noticed that an increased intake of total anthocyanidins and flavonoids, found in berries, leads to a decreased rate of memory loss. These are antioxidants which improve the blood flow to the brain. An interesting find of the study was that the women did not eat berries every-day. Just a cup of strawberry per week or ½ cup of blueberry per week was sufficient to stall the decline in cognitive functions.

Don't forget the green leafy vegetables

A study, led by Kang and published in the May 2005 issue of the journal Annals of Neurology also showed that increasing the consumption of green leafy vegetables can lead to a significant slowing down of age related memory loss. Eating fruits and green vegetables is believed to prevent age related memory loss and a decline in the cognitive functions because of their rich polyphenol content.

Spirulina is a kind of blue-green algae, the cells are without pronucleus, structure wall is very thin, which make it be extremely easy to be digested and absorbed. It contains abundant nutrients; 1 gram of spirulina is almost equivalent to 100 grams of vegetables and fruits. Green world spirulina plus Spirulina contains rich polsaccxharide of spirulina platensis (PSP) and glycoprotein, rich Se, B-carotene, iron and vitamins, chlorophyll, many amino acids, such as, linoleic acid and many trace elements. The spirulina radiation resistance mechanism is as follows: Polsaccxharide of spirulina platensis (PSP) and glycoprotein. Polsaccxharide of spirulina platensis (PSP) and glycoprotein have anti-radiation, antioxidant effects, can improve immunity, promote lymphocyte transformation and inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells. It is found in the research of PSP radiation resistance mechanism that its radiation resistance effect is related with the bioactivity of end n

Best Ways To Prevent, Treat Cholera, by WHO

Image
Cholera is an easily treatable disease. Up to 80 per cent of people can be treated successfully through prompt administration of oral rehydration salts (WHO/UNICEF ORS standard sachet). Very severely dehydrated patients require administration of intravenous fluids. Such patients also require appropriate antibiotics to diminish the duration of diarrhoea, reduce the volume of rehydration fluids needed, and shorten the duration of V. cholerae excretion. Mass administration of antibiotics is not recommended, as it has no effect on the spread of cholera and contributes to increasing antimicrobial resistance.       In order to ensure timely access to treatment, cholera treatment centres (CTCs) should be set up among the affected populations. With proper treatment, the case fatality rate should remain below one per cent. Outbreak response        Once an outbreak is detected, the usual intervention strategy is to reduce deaths by ensuring prompt access to treatment, and to control the spread o
