A diet rich in polyphenol antioxidants such as the MIND diet (a combination of Mediterranean diet and DASH diet) with plenty of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and limiting sugar and processed foods helps improve cognition and minimize the risk of neurodegeneration.
Besides adjusting main meals, you can completely start a new day to improve brain health right from the first glass of water. By starting a new day with 3 healthy drinks such as filtered water, green tea and kefir, you have directly activated brain energy, increased concentration and protected the nervous system early.
Filtered water
Starting the day with a glass of warm filtered water is the simplest and fastest way to "awaken" the whole body as well as the brain after a long night of rest. When you drink water right when you wake up, the body will quickly replenish the fluid lost through breathing and sweat glands.
This water source helps promote smooth blood circulation, supports the transportation of oxygen and essential nutrients to the brain, and at the same time, creates favorable conditions for nerve cells to transmit signals to each other effectively. Thanks to that, you will feel more alert, think coherently and easily focus on work all day.
Green tea or black tea
Tea is a gentle alternative to coffee thanks to its moderate caffeine content combined with a rich source of polyphenols.
In particular, green tea contains the amino acid L-theanine. The combination of L-theanine and a small amount of caffeine brings a state of alertness, deep concentration without causing feelings of nervousness, restlessness or caffeine intoxication.
Kefir
Kefir is a low-lactose fermented milk drink that simultaneously provides high-quality protein, vitamins, minerals and millions of beneficial bacteria (probiotics).
This drink stands out for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and balancing gut microbiome capabilities. Supplementing beneficial drinks such as kefir in the morning helps enhance digestive health, thereby supporting mood regulation and protecting nerve function.
