【健康英语】可以保持头脑活力的十五个简单办法（英文版）
Your brain is the engine that controls every action you perform, so needless
to say, you should keep it supercharged and ready for action throughout the day.
Here are 15 scientifically-proven （but yet surprisingly simple） ways to recharge
your brain!
1. Take a daily Vitamin B12 supplement
Vitamin B12 doesn't just supercharge your brain, it actually grows the size of
your brain! As you age, your brain gets smaller, which Vitamin B12 fights. The
vitamin has also been proven to help you learn, concentrate, think critically, and
even boost your test scores! Taking a Vitamin B complex supplement will ensure
you get your daily recommended dose.
2. Eat a lighter dinner, earlier
Eating an earlier, lighter dinner has a ton of health benefits （like that it helps
you lose weight）， and it can also supercharge your brain. Eating earlier helps
you sleep better because it gives your body more time to digest food properly,
and prevents food and alcoholic beverages from disrupting your sleep. It also
provides your brain with a more consistent flow of energy, without spiking your
blood sugar levels like a huge, late dinner can.
3. Eat more almonds
Almonds are referred to as a superfood for a reason. In addition to their
innumerable health benefits, almonds and other nuts “are good sources of the
antioxidant vitamin E, which is associated with less cognitive decline as you age.”
They're also chock full of amino acids and essential oils, which help your brain
focus. Just be careful about eating too many—there are about 150 calories in 20
almonds, though they're great for you in small doses.
4. Listen to music
Numerous studies have shown that listening to slow, relaxing music slows
down your pulse and heart rate, lowers your blood pressure, and actually
decreases the level of stress hormones in your body. Listening to music is healthy,
recharges your brain, and best of all, is a ton of fun. What's not to love?
5. Meditate
I've had a daily 30-minute meditation ritual for a few years, and can't
recommend the practice enough. Meditation is proven to help your mind de-
stress and relax, and the practice has even been shown to reduce your blood
pressure and levels of stress hormones! I also find that meditation allows me to
de-fragment my thoughts, which heightens my ability to learn and retain
information.
