Almonds Really Help Improve Memory?
Almonds Help Improve Memory??
According to Health Practitioner and Certified Macrobiotic Health Coach Shilpa Arora, “almonds high the levels of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter in the brain that helps to increase memory and help you fight conditions like Alzheimer’s disease. You don’t need a lot of almonds to help improve memory; about eight to 10 almonds soaked in water overnight and consumed in the day works effectively. We soak almonds for the nutrients to be easily absorbed by the body.” Apart from ACh acetylcholine, almonds have other nutrients that help improve memory function and overall brain health.
1…Almonds have vitamin B6, which is also known as pyridoxine that helps aid metabolism of proteins, which may further help increase the availability of proteins for brain cell repair. Moreover, this vitamin promotes the production of neurotransmitter chemicals that further improve communication between brain cells
2…zinc is a mineral that is known for boosting immune system, which may prevent bacterial and viral infections that can damage the brain cells and increse the efficiency of brain.
3…protien helps repair brain cells, thereby improving cognitive functions including memory. Almonds are rich in lean protein.
4. Vitamin E
Vitamin E is responsible to slow down ageing of cells such as those in the brain that might impact memory. While large doses of vitamin E have shown to have serious danger in life, a small amount may only benefit; taking about eight almonds every day will not mean you are over-dosing on vitamin E content.
