FOOD for thought

Have you ever had a week when you felt tired or sad and didn't know why? It might have been the food you ate. There is a strong connection between what you eat and how your brain works. For this reason, small changes in your diet can make a big difference to how you feel and function.

The brain is a really complicated organ – it doesn't just need energy, it needs lots of different chemicals, fats and minerals to keep everything working. A lot of these things only come from food, so if you're not eating the right things, it can have a bad effect on your brain. Making sure you're eating the right kinds of amino acids, fatty acids and micronutrients can improve your memory, mood and mental performance.

The most common substance in our brain is fat. But not just any kind of fat! The cells of the brain are made up of special fats called fatty acids. If we don't replace these fatty acids, then the brain cells start to break down. This means that the brain won't work so well, especially as we get older. There are two essential fatty acids for the body: omega-3 and omega-6. Omega-3 mainly comes from oily fish like mackerel and sardines, while omega-6 comes from liver and dark green vegetables.

The brain works by sending electrical and chemical signals through special cells called neurons. In order to make these chemicals, the body needs amino acids. These are found in foods which have lots of protein in them, such as meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. If you're a vegetarian or a vegan you can get amino acids from beans, soya and seeds.

Finally, we need to have various micronutrients like zinc, iron, copper and sodium. These protect the brain from diseases and can be found in fruit, vegetables and nuts. Overall, the most important thing is to eat a wide variety of different foods. A diet rich in fruit, vegetables, seeds, nuts and oily fish, and low in red meat and sugar, is the best way to maintain a healthy body, mind and brain!

Посмотрите на картинку и заголовок текста. Как вы думаете, как еда связана с нашим мозгом? Послушайте и прочитайте, чтобы узнать.

Ответ:

Для ответа на часть вопроса «Послушайте» недостаточно данных, так как аудиофайл отсутствует. / There is not enough data to answer the "Listen" part of the question as the audio file is missing.

Based on the picture and title, I think that the food we eat is like fuel for our brain. Healthy food probably gives our brain the right nutrients to work well, which helps us think better and feel happy. / Судя по картинке и заголовку, я думаю, что еда, которую мы едим, — это как топливо для нашего мозга. Полезная еда, вероятно, дает нашему мозгу правильные питательные вещества для хорошей работы, что помогает нам лучше думать и чувствовать себя счастливыми.

The text confirms this and explains that the brain needs specific nutrients from food: / Текст подтверждает это и объясняет, что мозгу необходимы определенные питательные вещества из пищи:

• Amino acids from protein (meat, fish, eggs, beans) are needed to send signals. / Аминокислоты из белка (мясо, рыба, яйца, бобы) необходимы для передачи сигналов.
• Fatty acids (like omega-3 from oily fish) are needed because brain cells are made of fat. / Жирные кислоты (например, омега-3 из жирной рыбы) необходимы, потому что клетки мозга состоят из жира.
• Micronutrients (like zinc and iron from fruits and nuts) protect the brain from diseases. / Микронутриенты (например, цинк и железо из фруктов и орехов) защищают мозг от болезней.
