These are the 4 best foods for your brain

1.Blueberries

Add a few handfuls of berries to a salad or your breakfast for big brain boost. Recent research found that as little as 2.5 cups of the flavonoid-rich berries per day months tamped down inflammation and significantly improved the speed that the brain could process information. It’s essential to eat blueberries daily to get the benefits. Blueberries improve brain tissue by depressing inflammation and not allowing oxidative stress to impair brain functioning, “It has to be a regular input of flavonoids,” says Mary Ann Lila, director of the Plants for Humant North Carolina State University. You have to eat a serving a day; you can’t just load up on weekends.

2.Salmons

Wild-caught salmon and other fatty fish are high in omega -3 fatty acids, which a 2022 study linked to greater brain volumes, improved abstract reasoning and logical thinking; omega-3s also slow cognitive decline and decrease the risk of developing dementia.

Three pieces of sushi contain around three ounces of salmon-a sufficient amount to get those essential fatty acids and boost brain health, according to Nyree Dardarian, professor at Drexel University.

3.Eggs

Whether you prefer them scrambled, poached, or fried, eggs are chock-full of nutrients like choline and lutein that support brain function. Eating one egg per week is associated with slower rates of cognitive decline.

4.Coffee

A morning caffeine jolt can actually provide a brain boost,too. “Coffee isn’t building brain cells but it does seem to help people with neurological diseases, “Lila explains. “Coffee is helping you to be more alert and helping you concentrate.”

Studies show that the popular beverage could help slow cognitive decline and improve planning and decision-making abilities. But drinking too much coffee could have the opposite effect. Drinking more than six cups of coffee per day was linked to a 53% increase in the risk of dementia.

1. Which food can be helpful to the brain only when taken every day?
A.Blueberry.B.Salmon.C.Eggs.D.Coffee.
2. Which food cannot be taken too much?
A.Blueberry.B.Salmon.C.Eggs.D.Coffee.
3. Which section is this article most probably taken from?

文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。一项关于大学生的研究表明,那些自认为挑食的人往往伴随着社交恐惧症。

【推荐1】Parents annoyed by their little ones’ picky food choices often sigh in anger, thinking, “They’ll grow out of it by college.” Maybe not, suggests a new study from Bowling Green State University in Ohio. Some young people continue their picky eating into early adulthood, often restricting their diets to 10 foods or even fewer. Such a deficient diet can mean they’re not getting the fibre and vegetables they need, which could be a health problem. They study also suggests picky eaters may also be experiencing other challenges such as social phobias (恐惧症), including around eating. The social phobia is the fear of being judged by others during everyday activities, often resulting in fear or embarrassment.

For the study, researchers surveyed 488 Midwestern college students. About 40% of the students were identified as picky eaters. And about 65% of those respondents said they ate fewer than 10 foods. “We asked participants to just tell us what challenges around picky eating might have had or any benefits they might see, and people answered differently in terms of what has an effect on them,” said co-author Lauren Dial, a doctoral student at Bowling Green State at the time of the study.

Many indicated they’d eat less or not at all outside the home. One 19-year-old man said he’d drink water half the time “due to my picky eating”, according to the study. Another 18-year-old said, “Sometimes there are some awkward comments when I am eating with my girlfriend and her family.” A 23-year-old woman said her parents would get frustrated at her refusal to try the foods she was served.

“Picky eating does have a lot to do with the presentation of foods (how they’re presented on a plate), and the texture (口感) of foods (is it a consistent texture),” Dial Said, “but there’s also fear of trying new foods and that might play into picky eating.” By learning more about picky eating in adults, the researchers said they may be able to determine how best to intervene (干预) before the problem becomes more severe for some people.

1. What can best replace the underlined word “deficient” in paragraph 1?
A.Limited.B.Low-fat.C.Balanced.D.High-fibre.
2. What were the participants asked to do during the research?
A.Record how often they eat out.B.Ignore what influences their eating.
C.Express how picky eating affects them.D.Count how many kinds of foods they prefer.
3. How does the author mainly develop paragraph 3?
A.By presenting data.B.By providing examples.
C.By following time order.D.By making comparisons.
4. What can be inferred about picky eating the last paragraph?
A.It has something to do with family traditions.
B.It can be easily cured by researchers.
C.It often comes along with serious mental illnesses.
D.It can have both physical and mental reasons.

【推荐2】Ways to Save Money on Healthy Food

Contrary to what you may have heard, eating healthy doesn’t have to be really expensive. Here are expert tips on how to have a healthy diet on a budget (预算).

    1    

One of the main ways to eat healthier and save money is to cook at home. Instead of going out to buy pre-made healthy food from stores, get the ingredients and make them by yourself. If making entire meals is not your thing, or you don’t have the time, you can make a simple salad.

Shop at your local farmers’ market

    2    . Shopping produce that is in season is a lot cheaper than buying produce that isn’t, and the best place to know what’s in season is at a farmers’ market. Farmers’ markets are budget-friendly because farmers bring their goods directly to customers without interference (介入) from shipping agents, retailers and other go-betweens.     3    .

Prepare meals in advance

Sometimes the last thing you want to do after a long day is cook. To avoid reaching for the takeout menu in these situations, set aside one day a week to meal preparing.     4    . To keep it simple and healthy, experts suggest having one source of protein in each meal, at least one vegetable and a whole-grain. Making healthy meals in this way saves you time and money, and makes it easy to eat healthy.

Stock up on frozen produce

Buying frozen fruits and vegetables is a great way to eat healthy on a budget. Frozen produce less than fresh produce. Plus, fruits and vegetables will last a lot longer and usually can be choppedB(切) and ready to go, so you don’t have to spend time washing and cutting.     5    .

A.Cook at home
B.Eat less meat and dairy
C.Meal preparing doesn’t have to be difficult
D.Make sure you use your produce fully and try not to waste anything
E.Visit your local farmers’ market for fresh and in-season fruits and vegetables
F.If you see a sale on frozen fruits or vegetables, you can buy and store some in the fridge
G.This way you can not only buy fresh and healthy goods but also support the local farmers
