What brain foods are good for remembering what you studied?

    Need help remembering what you've just studied? Head to your kitchen. Research suggests certain foods are good for the brain and may boost your memory. Along with getting enough sleep and developing other healthy habits, eating brain foods can be an effective study aid.

    Eggs: Eggs are good for your memory because they are a good source of protein, a nutrient that helps you concentrate, according to registered dietitian Elisa Zied, author of “Nutrition at Your Fingertips.” Eggs also contain choline, a precursor to a neurotransmitter needed for good memory.

    Cereal: Cereal provides carbohydrates, which help you remember what you studied by boosting your mental energy. Carbs turn into glucose, a sugar your brain needs to think clearly. Cereals with whole grains also provide B vitamins, nutrients the nerves in your brain need to communicate, Zied says.

    Fish: Salmon, tuna and other varieties of oily fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, also known as polyunsaturated fatty acids. A symptom for someone low in omega-3s is poor memory. In addition to omega3 fatty acids, fish contains vitamin B-12, which is important for good memory, according to the NIH’s Office of Dietary Supplements.

    Getting a good night’s sleep and eating a healthy breakfast will also help you remember what you studied. Research shows eating breakfast improves attention and boosts academic achievement. Additionally, keeping your cholesterol and blood pressure in check and avoiding smoking will help your brain health and may sharpen your memory, according to an article by nutritionist Joy Bauer on NBCNews.com.

Coffee Processing and Coffee Quality

By ‘Coffee Review’

 

    Coffee beans are not beans at all in a botanical sense. They are the twin seeds of a red (sometimes yellow) fruit that grows to about the size of the tip of your little finger. Growers call these coffee fruit coffee cherries. Before the coffee can be shipped and roasted, the bean or seed must be separated from the fruit. Nature has been lavish in its packaging of the coffee seed, and removing the three sets of skin and one layer of pulp from around the seed is a complex process. If done properly, the coffee looks better, tastes better, and demands a higher price.

    The worst preparation or processing would be as follows: The coffee berries are stripped – leaves, unripe berries, and all – onto the ground. This mixture is then scooped up, sifted, and dried in the sun (and sometimes in the rain, which is one of the problems with such coffees). Later the dried, shriveled fruit is stripped off the bean. Some beans may be small and deformed, shriveled, or discolored. In very poorly prepared coffee all the beans, good and bad, plus a few twigs, a little dirt, and some stones, are shipped together. The various flavor taints associated with cheap coffee – sourness, mustiness, harshness, composty taste – all derive from careless picking, fruit removal and drying.

    The best preparation would run like this: The coffee cherries are selectively picked as they ripen. The same day they are picked, the outer skin is removed, exposing the pulp. The pulp-covered beans are then subject to controlled fermentation in tanks. The ferment-loosened, flabby pulp is then gently washed off the beans and they are dried, after which the last layers of skin, now dry and crumbly, are stripped from the bean by machine.

    Between these two extremes – carelessly picked coffees simply put out into the sun to dry and selectively picked, wet-processed coffees – are coffees that have been dried in the old-fashioned way, with the fruit still clinging to the bean, but have been picked selectively and dried with care. These high-quality dry-processed or “natural” coffees can be superb, alive with fruity nuance.

(From https://www.coffeereview.com/coffee-reference/coffee-basics/introduction/coffee-processing-and-coffee-quality/.)

Consider the code ‘W’ for what the text calls ‘the worst preparation’ and ‘B’ for ‘the best preparation’ for the following sentences:

 

( ) Coffee may be exposed to weather conditions.

( ) Only ripe coffee cherries are used.

( ) Coffee beans are extracted from sun-dried cherries.

( ) Removing the skin and the layers of pulp involve different phases, some of which may involve machinery or chemical processes.

 

Mark the alternative bellow that reflects to which type of preparation each of the sentences above refer to, from top to bottom.

Text I

 

Brazil's government claims its policies aren't to blame for the fires ravaging the Amazon rainforest. But scientists in Brazil and elsewhere disagree. Satellite data show the rise in blazes is linked to a recent rise in deforestation, which is at least partly the result of government policies, they argue. Most of the fires occur in municipalities with the highest rate of deforestation this year. Many are active for several days, burning with intense heat and producing tall, thick, smoke pillars—all indicators that trees are on fire, not overgrown pastures, crop residues, or roadside vegetation.

Text II

 

Precipitation decline and vegetation fires in the Amazon region associated with climate change and deforestation expose local communities to hazardous air quality that may lead to damages in human health such as diseases of the respiratory system. Since 2000, drought incidence over the Amazon has been observed at a higher frequency than during the last century, and the effects of the drier climate and fires on human health remain uncertain.
