Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below:
You probably don’t give it much thought, but your brain needs good nutrition,
workout, and good sleep, as much as any other major muscle group. These can
help boost creativity, memory and keep the brain young. Excess dietary fat,
especially saturated fat, usually clogs the arteries reducing the blood flow to the
brain and causing it to age prematurely.
Conversely, the lower the saturated fat in your diet, the body will eventually flush
out the excess fat from your arteries restoring normal blood supply to the brain,
for it rejuvenation. A healthy diet rich in colourful fruit, omega-3 fatty acids and
whole grain aids improved functioning of the brain. Fruits and vegetables are
rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants which benefit brain chemistry.
Coloured vegetables and fruits, walnuts, flax seeds, green tea, fish etc. are
brain food in the real sense. Exercise seems to support the brain the same way
as it helps cardiac health; by improving the blood flow which means more
oxygen and nutrients reach the brain cells and sustain their optimal functioning.
A good night‘s sleep is immensely de-stressing and good for your brain. Stress hormones which get released in response to mental stress can have a negative
impact on the brain. Putting away all your gadgets-phone, remote tablet etc.-and
enjoying a little time relaxing during the day is a good idea. Mental gamers are
fun, challenging and competitive-a great way to exercise your mind. When it
comes to brain fitness, the bottom line is ‘to use it or lose it’.
