We know that the human body's blood is alkaline under normal conditions; however, after overusing the brain or excessive physical exertion, the blood becomes acidic. Long-term preference for acidic foods can also acidify the blood. Long-term acidic blood can lead to the degeneration of brain and nerve function, resulting in decreased memory. The way to nourish the body is to eat more alkaline foods and fewer acidic foods.

Generally, foods containing phosphorus, chlorine, and sulfur are considered acidic, such as rice, flour, fish, meat, duck eggs, peanuts, white sugar, and beer. Consuming too much of these can also acidify the blood. Conversely, foods containing sodium, calcium, and magnesium are alkaline, such as vegetables, fruits, legumes, kelp, milk, and tea.
Kelp, fruits, and legumes are the best choices
Among these, kelp contains the highest alkalinity, followed by fruits and legumes. People who use their brain frequently (such as students preparing for exams and busy professionals) should eat kelp regularly. As for the currently popular natural foods, which advocate for natural ingredients, they are certainly suitable, but there is no need to insist on eating only natural foods to avoid overdoing it.
Gastrodia and Ginseng can be taken occasionally
In terms of Chinese medicine, it is currently known that Gastrodia and Ginseng are quite effective in improving learning and memory abilities and alleviating learning difficulties. Using both together can achieve a synergistic effect. In addition, walnuts, which are both food and medicine, can replenish essence and marrow; sesame can fill the marrow and enhance intelligence; honey can strengthen the will and improve learning ability. Yam, which is currently highly regarded, can strengthen the will and spirit, and can also be eaten regularly.
