Recently, The Psychology Today has published the list of products, which are the source of beauty and which motivate brain’s activity. In experts’ opinion, the products, most useful to a brain and, consequently, for the beauty are the cranberry, bilberry, beet, cabbage and spinach.
1. Cranberry. It is the richest source of antioxidants - substances which resist to so-called free radicals (FR). These are the molecules of different substances, which have no electrons, therefore they everywhere aspire “to bite off” a missing electron of other molecules. In our organism it helps to ruin cells, which have been attacked by the FRs, and to get rid of different illnesses. So, FRs are considered as originators of atherosclerosis. Antioxidants connect FRs and do not allow them to spoil the vessels supplying brain with a blood.
2. Bilberry. This product contains the same antioxidants, and also the substances, which are useful to visual acuity and hearing.
3. Beet and cabbage are approximately equal under the maintenance of the substances, capable to destroy enzymes which lead to development of senile dementia. These enzymes “cut” fibers on fragments, which form colloid corpuscles, which are destroying cells of the brain.
4. Spinach. Spinach keeps a youth of nervous cells, and it also promotes cognitive activity of the brain.
