It's revision time for exams and dissertations. The pressure is on, so you want all the help you can get to aid your memory and raise your grades.
现在是复习考试和写论文的时候。压力很大,所以你会想要得到所有可能的帮助来辅助你提高记忆力和成绩。
As a nutrition expert, I want to say that eating well can make a real difference to your revision regime so what brain-boosting food and drink would I recommend?
作为一名营养专家,我想说的是,吃得好对复习状态有很大影响。那么,我会推荐哪些能增强大脑功能的食物和饮品呢?
Coffee can have numerous benefits, However, while coffee may make you more alert, individuals can build up a tolerance, meaning this is short-lived.
咖啡有很多好处。然而,虽然咖啡能让你更加清醒,但人会产生耐受性,这意味着咖啡的提神效果是短暂的。
Coffee can also increase blood sugar and eventually cause lack of focus and energy. It's also worth noting that people react differently to coffee.
咖啡还会让血糖升高,最终导致注意力不集中和精力不足。还要注意的是,人们对咖啡的反应各不相同。
Some people can drink it at midnight and go straight to sleep, whereas others get feelings of anxiety after a small amount.
有些人可以在半夜喝咖啡,然后直接入睡,而有些人喝一点就会感到焦虑。
Also, remember that coffee from a coffee shop may be stronger than coffee made at home.
还要记住,咖啡店的咖啡可能比家里自制的咖啡更浓。
So stop drinking coffee by 2 pm and have a maximum of 2 cups of coffee a day, but be aware of your own reaction to it.
所以下午2点以后就不要再喝了,而且每天最多喝两杯咖啡,不过要注意你自己喝完后的反应。
Whole grain foods will ward off hunger. Examples include porridge and whole wheat bread.
全谷物食品可以抵御饥饿。粥和全麦面包都属于全谷物食品。
Combining whole grain foods with protein will help keep your blood sugar levels balanced, which is essential for mood and concentration.
将全谷物食品与蛋白质搭配食用有助于保持血糖水平平衡,这对情绪和注意力至关重要。
Berries and nuts are a convenient and nutritious snack.
浆果和坚果都属于方便且有营养的零食。
Blueberries, like many dark colored fruits and vegetables, can slow down brain damage and age related decline. Frozen berries are also a good choice.
蓝莓和许多深色水果蔬菜一样,可以减缓大脑损伤和由年龄增长导致的衰退。
They are usually cheap, last longer and don't lose their nutrients when frozen.
冷冻浆果也是一个不错的选择,它们通常更便宜,保存时间更长,冷冻时营养不会流失。
But flavored and coated nuts are less healthy as they contain added oil, salt, and sugar.
但是,调味坚果和外面裹着一层外衣的坚果就没那么健康了,因为它们含有添加的油、盐和糖。
Doctors often recommend taking vitamin supplements to top up on the nutrients you need.
医生经常建议服用维生素补充剂来补充我们所需的营养。
But I would say food should always come before supplements and the key to getting as many nutrients as possible is to eat a varied diet with lots of different colors such as frozen berries and dark green vegetables.
但我认为,食物应该始终优先于补充剂,要获取尽可能多的营养,关键是保持饮食多样化,包括吃各种颜色的食物,比如冷冻浆果和深绿色蔬菜。
It's better to get everything you need from food and drink.
最好从食物和饮品中获取你所需的一切。
For example, oranges contain not only vitamin C which boosts the immune system, but also fiber and other components that you can't get packaged together in a tablet.
例如,橙子不仅含有能增强免疫系统的维生素C,还含有纤维和其他你在药片中无法一起获得的成分。
Don't forget to drink a proper amount of water, which can boost attention by almost 25 percent and can elevate your mood as well.
不要忘记适量饮水,它可以将你的注意力提高近25%,还能改善你的情绪。
Finally, don't skip meals. Eating regularly will help keep blood sugar balanced and feed the brain with the fuel it needs.
最后,不要不吃饭。规律饮食有助于保持血糖平衡,并为大脑提供所需的能量。
