Ternyata kopi bagus utk meningkatan daya ingat jangka pendek (Short Term Memory). Itu kalo 1 cangkir. tapi kalau diminum 3-4 mug besar bisa-bisa malah nggak tidur seharian, apalagi dicampur dengan garam.... :)
Tidak hanya di kota saja, tetapi ibu di desa-desa, yg masuk kategori "miskin" juga ketularan gak pede kalo gak kasih susu formula kaleng ke bayi. Bener kata Mas Harry, iklan-iklan pabrikan susu sudah sukses menjungkir-balikkan adat kebiasaan kehidupan sehari-hari di pelosok. Tak banyak uang tapi tetep ngotot kudu beli susu formula.! kenapa gak piara kambing aja, toh kata ahli gizi kualitas susu kambing jauh lebih bagus daripada susu sapi... asalkan jangan sampai para suami berebut dengan si bayi aja, yang katanya demi meningkatkan daya vitalityyyyy...... :) salam hangat FOR SHORT-TERM MEMORY Drink This!: COFFEE Fresh-brewed joe is the ultimate brain fuel. Caffeine has been shown to retard the aging process and enhance short-term memory performance. In one study, British researchers found that just one cup of coffee helps improve attention and problem-solving skills. FOR LONG-TERM MEMORY Eat This!: BLUEBERRIES Antioxidants in blueberries help protect the brain from free-radical damage and cut your risk of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. They can also improve cognitive processing (translation: thinking). Wild blueberries, if you can find them, have even more brain-boosting antioxidants than the cultivated variety, so book that vacation in Maine now. The berries will ripen in July. TO THINK FASTER Eat This!: SALMON OR MACKEREL If the Internal Revenue Service picks you for some up-close-and-personal auditing, you’ll want to be on your toes when they vet your deductions list. So put salmon or mackerel on the grocery list. The omega-3 fatty acids found in fatty fishes are a primary building block of brain tissue, so they’ll amp up your thinking power. Salmon is also rich in niacin, which can help ward off Alzheimer’s disease and slow the rate of cognitive decline. TO ENERGIZE: Eat This!: HIGH-PROTEIN SALAD WITH VINAIGRETTE The oil in the dressing will help slow down digestion of protein and carbs in the salad, stabilizing blood-sugar levels and keeping energy levels high. Build your salad on a bed of romaine and spinach for an added boost in riboflavin, and add chicken and a hard-boiled egg for more energizing protein. TO CALM DOWN Eat This!: LOW-FAT YOGURT OR MIXED NUTS Scientists in Slovakia gave people 3 grams each of two amino acids—lysine and arginine—or a placebo, and asked them to deliver a speech. Blood measurements of stress hormones revealed that the amino acid-fortified guys were half as anxious during and after the speech as those who took the placebo. Yogurt is one of the best food sources of lysine; nuts pack loads of arginine. TO CONCENTRATE Eat This!: PEPPERMINT TEA The scent of peppermint helps you focus and boosts performance, according to researchers. Need to reach Chicago before nightfall, and you’re stuck in traffic around Cleveland? One study found that peppermint makes drivers more alert and less anxious. FOR GOOD MOODS AND GRINS Eat This! ARUGULA OR SPINACH SALAD Leafy greens—arugula, chard, spinach—are rich sources of B vitamins, which are key components on the assembly line that manufactures feel-good hormones such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. According to a study published in the Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, a lack of B6 can cause nervousness, irritability, and even depression. FOR SHARPER SENSES Eat This!: 1 TBSP OF GROUND FLAXSEED DAILY Flax is the best source of alphalinoleic, or ALA—a healthy fat that improves the workings of the cerebral cortex, the area of the brain that processes sensory information, including that of pleasure. To meet your quota, sprinkle it on salads or mix it into a smoothie or shake.
