Care for heart and brain health: remember omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B12!

The health of the brain and heart largely determine the health of our entire body. When the heart and brain are well, the body and mind will thank you. In everyday life, your own choices can have a significant impact on your well-being. Healthy lifestyles help to cope with everyday challenges, and prevent e.g. signs of exhaustion and depression.

Eat yourself healthy

The health of the heart and brain is most affected by a varied diet that contains enough good-quality fat and fiber, regular exercise and avoiding excess weight, adequate sleep and enjoying life and avoiding excessive stress. Easy, right? It's always worth keeping in mind that it's often small everyday choices and even small changes can have significant benefits towards a healthier tomorrow. Nutrition has a significant effect on energy, mood and the ability to learn new things. One-sided food is a clear risk factor for many memory disorders: nutrient-poor food does not have enough of the necessary building materials for the brain, while a varied diet protects the brain and helps the heart transport oxygen to the brain. The brain enjoys unsaturated fatty acids, berries and vegetables. Vegetables and berries contain protective nutrients to support brain function. Foods containing good fats, such as avocados, fatty fish, nuts, seeds and almonds are the best brain foods, promoting brain, central nervous system and memory function. Good fats keep cell membranes in good condition. The unsaturated fats contained in avocados and olive oil promote the functioning of the cardiovascular system, e.g. by lowering blood pressure and improving blood flow, thus ensuring adequate oxygen supply to the brain. The antioxidants contained in walnuts, macadamia nuts and almonds, on the other hand, protect not only from memory disorders but also from cardiovascular diseases. Fatty salmon is full of omega-3 fatty acids, which boost brain function and memory and are important building materials for the brain. In addition to protein, you should always choose high-quality sources of fat and fiber for your plate and try to eat as versatile as possible.
