We’ve all heard the adage, "You are what you eat." But there’s a real connection between the food we consume and the functionality of our brains. In The Healthy Mind Cookbook, chef, nutritionist and author Rebecca Katz reveals the top eight brain-boosting foods. Just remember to add these to your grocery list next time you hit the market.

我們都聽過這樣的格言：“吃什麼補什麼。”我們所吃的食物真的關係着我們的大腦功能。廚師、營養學家兼作家麗貝卡·卡茨在《補腦健康食譜》中列出了補腦排名前八的食物。下次要記得購買這八種食物。

　　Mint

　　薄荷

The herb has vitamin A, which can increase the brain’s plasticity, and vitamin C, which may protect against memory loss. Plus, the scent increases alertness.

這種草本植物含有維生素A，對大腦有提高可塑性的作用;也含有維生素C，能防止記憶力減退。另外，薄荷香味有提神醒腦的作用。

　　Walnuts

　　核桃

Eat these nuts with the skins on--that’s where the powerful antioxidant phenols reside. They're also a good source of magnesium, which may help regulate sleeping patterns.

吃核桃仁的時候不要剝掉核桃衣，強大的抗氧化劑苯酚都在這層衣上。核桃也富含鎂，有助於調節睡眠模式。

　　Avocado

　　鱷梨(牛油果)

The darlings of the produce section, avocados are full of carotenoids, which help improve brain performance. Plus, they’re loaded with healthy fats, which keep inflammation under control and lower the risk of heart disease. Heart healthy = brain healthy.

鱷梨(牛油果)富含類胡蘿蔔素，有助於提高大腦性能。另外，含有健康脂肪，有控制炎症的作用，並能降低患心臟疾病的風險，心臟健康=大腦健康。

　　Extra Virgin Olive Oil

　　特級初榨橄欖油

It’s all about the good fats here. Extra virgin olive oil has more monounsaturated oleic acid than any other oil, a key element in better memory and higher scores on verbal fluency tests.

這是最重要的就是健康脂肪。與其他油相比，特級初榨橄欖油有更多單不飽和油酸，是增強記憶力、提高語言能力的關鍵因素。

　　Cauliflower

　　菜花

Cauliflower is a great source of vitamin C, which may elevate your mood, and vitamin K, which can keep your mind sharp in your older years.

菜花是維生素C的一大來源，它可以提高你的情緒，維生素K能讓你在老年仍保持思維敏捷。

　　Beets

　　甜菜

They’re high in nitrites, which have been shown to increase blood flow in parts of the brain related to executive functioning. And they’re packed with folate (aids cognitive functioning), which can help delay dementia.

甜菜的亞硝酸鹽含量高，經證明能增加大腦功能區的血流量。而且富含葉酸(葉酸有助於改善大腦的認知功能)，它有助於延緩老年癡呆症。

　　Pumpkin Seeds

　　南瓜籽

Katz calls these nature’s smallest antidepressant. They’re loaded with zinc, a mineral that keeps depression at bay. They also contain glutamate, which produces GABA, a chemical that fights stress in the brain.

卡茨稱其爲天然的最小抗抑鬱藥。南瓜籽富含鋅，鋅這種礦物質能預防抑鬱症。南瓜籽還含有穀氨酸，其產生一種γ氨基丁酸，能起到緩解大腦壓力的作用。

　Anchovies

　　鳳尾魚

They're loaded with vitamin B2, an essential for basic cognitive functioning. Plus, anchovies are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can boost the performance of brain neurons.

富含維生素B12，維生素B12對基本認知功能具有重要意義。此外，鳳尾魚含有豐富的ω-3脂肪酸，它可以促進大腦神經元的功能。
