The brain weighs about 1400 grams, accounting for 2% of body weight, but the energy it consumes accounts for 20% of the body's total energy consumption. It's no exaggeration to say that the brain is a "big eater." 1. Eat breakfast
During sleep, the brain continues to consume energy. Waking up in the morning is when the brain is most lacking in energy. A good breakfast is essential for the brain to wake up and start its work for the day. Breakfast should ideally be based on unrefined grains such as whole wheat and brown rice. 2. Chew The Mediterranean diet includes large amounts of vegetables, fruits, and grains, with seafood like deep-sea fish as the main protein source, and less meat and poultry. Olive oil is used for cooking, and red wine is consumed in moderation. Research has shown that people who regularly follow a Mediterranean diet have a 40% lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Finland and Sweden, where people love to eat fish, have the lowest rates of Alzheimer's patients.
