This was announced on April 5 by Artem Yashin, a biologist, nutritionist, expert in the field of peptide bioregulation, CEO of VITUAL, founder of the School of Systemic medicine V academy, in an interview with Gazeta.Ru».

He pointed out that for the brain to function properly, the body needs elements such as fatty acids, minerals, vitamins and amino acids.

"A deficiency of even one of them can lead to a noticeable deterioration in cognitive functions, affecting memory, concentration, information processing speed, and intellectual potential," Yashin warned.

According to the expert, the Mediterranean type of diet is suitable for maintaining the normal functioning of the brain. It involves a variety of plant-based foods, as well as olive oil and oily fish.

"It is also beneficial to consume leafy greens and vegetables rich in antioxidants that protect the brain from oxidative stress. Leafy vegetables are an excellent source of B vitamins (B6, B9, B12), vitamin K, folic acid, potassium and magnesium," the specialist said.
