Use More Onions and Garlic to Stimulate the Brain
Onions and garlic possess antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Recent studies reveal that regular consumption of onions and garlic can lower blood lipids, blood sugar, and blood pressure—and even enhance brain function.
The brain relies on glucose for energy. However, converting glucose into usable energy requires vitamin B1. In other words, without vitamin B1, glucose cannot be transformed into brain fuel. Conversely, accumulated acidic byproducts of glucose metabolism may impair normal brain function.
Researchers discovered that combining garlic with a small amount of vitamin B1 produces a substance called "allicinamine," which enhances vitamin B1’s effect and surpasses it in potency.
Onions contain a substance that, when consumed regularly, helps dilate small blood vessels and improves blood circulation—thus aiding in preventing dizziness caused by high blood pressure.<brain>
