Blood flowing

Blue-colored vein is an elastic blood vessel that transports deoxygenated blood from various regions of the head to the heart. Like small rivers carry water to big river and then to a sea…

Good food for brain's good work

Green tea Green tea contains a substance called polyphenols, which protect brain cells from neurodegenerative lesions. It significantly lowers blood pressure.		Water Dehydration raises stress hormone levels, causing severe brain damage. Drink at least 10 glasses of water a day.
Wheat bran Sprouted wheat and wheat bran - rich in zinc. Zinc - is an important trace element with antioxidant properties.

The eggs Eggs are rich in choline, like fat, vitamin B, which is shown to increase memory and minimizefatigue. The eggs are necessary for healthy functioning of the brain membranes.		Fish Polyunsaturated fatty acids and acids of the Omega-3, contained in fish, regulate cholesterol and improve the functioning of the purified plaque vessels.
Complex Carbohydrates For normal operation, your brain must be sufficient "fuel". And it is so fuel is carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates - it's porridge, bread from wheat flour, pasta, from the same flour,corn, vegetables, legumes, etc.		Oils For normal functioning of the brain need adequate amounts of unsaturated fatty acids, the maindietary sources of which are linseed, sunflower, olive oil, and oil shoots sprouted wheat.
Cacao More recently, scientists discovered that cocoa beans contain a very useful substance - flavanovantioxidant, improves blood circulation in the brain. However, not all cocoa sold in supermarkets contain a sufficient number of flavanol. This is due to the fact that the antioxidant gives the drink a bitter taste, so the production is often removed		Nuts It's no secret that the nut - a source of vitamin E, which is so essential to the brain. Walnut oil is a leader in vegetable oils on the content of polyunsaturated fatty acids, Omega 3 and Omega 6.

By the way,has already proven that tomatoes prevent formation of blood clots.
Foods rich in sulfur Sulfur is necessary for the saturation of the brain cells of oxygen. Sulfur rich foods such as almonds, cabbage, carrots, cucumbers, garlic, gooseberries, figs, strawberries, lettuce, onions, potatoes, radishes, egg yolk		Sunflower seeds At 50%, sunflower seeds are composed of vegetable fat. Unlike animal fats plant does not increase blood cholesterol levels, but rather decreases.
