What’s on the menu for your brain?
You know that your body needs vitamins and minerals to stay strong and healthy. So do your brain and nerves. Check out this list and see if your diet includes "brain food."
In addition to their other functions, many B vitamins are vital to normal brain and nerve function. Most of the B vitamins, and folic acid have specific advantages for your brain and nervous system:
* Vitamin B1 (Thiamine)—essential for healthy brain and nerve cells. It is found in whole grain and enriched grain products like bread, rice, pasta, and fortified cereals, pasta, as well as pork.
* Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic acid)—forms a coenzyme witch helps in transmission of nerve impulses. It can be found in meat, poultry, fish, whole-grain cereals, legumes, milk, vegetables, and fruit.
* Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)—helps convert tryptophan into serotonin, a brain chemical. It can be found in chicken, fish, pork, liver, and kidney, as well as whole grain cereals, nuts, and legumes. Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin)—helps maintain healthy nervous tissue. It is found in eggs, meat, fish, poultry, and milk and dairy products.
* Folic acid—essential for metabolism of long-chain fatty acids in the brain. It is found in bananas, orange juice, fortified cereals, lemons, strawberry, cantaloupe, leafy vegetables, dried beans and peas. It is especially important for pregnant women because low levels increase the risk of neural tube defects in newborns.
