BRAINY FOOD
使人聪明的食物
Does your memory need a boost? While there are lots of ways to train your brain to better remember things, there's a whole bunch of simple remedies that can be found on your plate. We reveal which foods you should be stocking up on at the supermarket.
你的记忆力需要提高吗？虽然有很多的训练方法可使大脑的记忆力更好，但很多的简单疗法就在自己的餐盘中。本文透露出你需要在超市购买的一些食物。
BLACKCURRANTS
黑加仑
They might be small but blackcurrants are packed full of Vitamin C, which is thought to have the power to increase mental agility and protect against age-related brain degeneration including dementia and Alzheimer's.
黑加仑虽小，但却富含维他命C。人们认为维他命C可提高思维的敏捷度，同时能防止老年性脑退化疾病，包括老年痴呆。
COFFEE
咖啡
Caffeine lovers rejoice! There's now a good reason for your morning cuppa. Researchers from the University of Innsbruck in Austria found that giving people the caffeine equivalent of two cups of coffee improved memory skills compared to those who didn't consume caffeine. If that wasn't enough good news a French study found women over 65 who drank three or more cups of coffee a day were better able to recall words than women who consumed little or none.
咖啡爱好者该高兴了！现在早上喝杯咖啡就有充分的理由了。奥地利因斯布鲁克大学的研究员们发现：与没喝咖啡的参与者相比，服用咖啡因（相当于两杯咖啡）的参与者他们的记忆力得到了提高。如果这还不算好消息，那么法国的一项研究发现：对于65岁以上的女性而言，相比不喝或少喝咖啡的女性，每天喝三杯或三杯以上咖啡的女性她们的记忆力更强。
NUTS
坚果
A study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology suggests that consuming vitamin E can help prevent cognitive decline, particularly in the elderly. Nuts, like almonds and walnuts, are an excellent source of vitamin E so why not make them part of your afternoon snack?
《美国流行病学杂志》刊出的一项研究表明：摄入维他命E能有助于防止认知能力下降，尤其是防止老年人认知能力下降。杏仁和核桃一类的坚果富含维他命E，所以下午点心时刻为什么不吃些呢？
OILY FISH
油性鱼类
Essential fatty acids (EFA) can't be produced by the body, so we need to include EFA foods in our diet to get our fit, and a great source comes from oily fish like salmon, trout, mackerel and sardines. In fact, studies confirm that frequent fish eaters experience slower rates of cognitive decline as they age. These guys are also packed with EPA and DHA. Low DHA levels have been linked to an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease and memory loss, so pop some oily fish in your shopping basket.
人体无法产生必须脂肪酸（EFA），所以我们的饮食需要包含必须脂肪酸食物，以使身体健康。鲑鱼、鳟鱼、鲭鱼和沙丁鱼等油性鱼类富含必须脂肪酸。事实上，研究证实：随着年龄的增长，经常吃鱼的人认知能力下降率会更慢。这些油性鱼类还含有二十碳五烯酸和二十二碳六烯酸。低水平的二十二碳六烯酸与阿尔兹海默症患病几率增加以及记忆力衰退有关，所以在购物篮里放些油性鱼类吧。
