Food and nutritionists recommend that to maintain good health and improve work efficiency, the following foods are the most important for mental workers to consider when choosing food: Eggs

The protein in eggs is one of the best proteins in natural foods. It is rich in amino acids that the human body needs. In addition to being rich in lecithin, the yolk is also rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron, and vitamins A, D, B, etc., making it suitable for mental workers. Therefore, you can eat 1-2 eggs daily to supplement nutrition. Legumes and their products

This is the best source of plant protein in nature. Soybeans are rich in high-quality protein and 8 essential amino acids needed by the human brain. These substances help enhance the function of cerebral blood vessels. In addition, they contain lecithin, rich vitamins, and other minerals, making them especially suitable for mental workers. More importantly, 85.5% of the fat in soybeans is unsaturated fatty acids, among which linolenic acid and linoleic acid are abundant. They have the effect of lowering cholesterol in the human body and are particularly beneficial for middle-aged and elderly mental workers in preventing and controlling cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Animal Brain

The brains of animals contain large amounts of cephalin and lecithin. Among them, fish brain is the best. Because the fish oil in fish brains contains two unsaturated fatty acids: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These substances, known as "brain gold," are essential for human brain nutrition and play an extremely important role in the growth and development of brain cells, especially in brain nerve conduction and synapses. If the human brain lacks DHA, it will affect brain function and reduce a person's learning, thinking, reasoning, and judgment abilities. Regularly eating fish, especially fish brains, can absorb more DHA, thereby activating human nerve cells and improving brain function. However, it should be noted that because the cholesterol content in fish brains is also relatively high, the elderly, especially those with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, should not eat it. Walnuts and Sesame

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that these two substances have the effects of "nourishing the five organs, replenishing qi, strengthening muscles and bones, and enriching the brain." Modern research has found that these two substances are very nutritious, especially with a high content of unsaturated fatty acids. Therefore, eating them often can provide the brain with sufficient small-molecule unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid and linolenic acid to remove impurities from blood vessels and improve brain function. In addition, walnuts contain a large amount of vitamins, which are very effective for treating neurasthenia, insomnia, relaxing the tension of brain nerves, and eliminating brain fatigue. Nourishing Foods

After mental work, nerve excitement can easily lead to insomnia. Drinking soup made with longan (dragon eye) flesh can have a calming and sedative effect. Jujubes have the effect of nourishing the stomach and spleen, benefiting blood and strengthening the spirit, and can also calm the mind and relieve depression. Honey contains glucose and fructose, which are energy sources for brain cells. Royal jelly is an excellent health food for the human body. Regular consumption can refresh the mind and brain, and enhance the vitality of brain cells. Fruits

Pineapple is rich in vitamin C and the important trace element manganese, which helps improve human memory. Lemons can improve a person's receptivity, so it is best to drink a glass of lemon juice before a foreign language class. Bananas can provide the brain with the important substance tyrosine, which can make people energetic, focused, and improve creativity. Bananas also contain tryptophan, which can make nerves "strong." With tryptophan, no pressure can make you lose balance. Tryptophan can also form a "happiness hormone" called serotonin, which is a neurotransmitter that can make people feel happy and cheerful and prevent depression.
