Diet increases brain ability

A research mentioned that diet doesn't only promise a slim body, but it is also believed can increase brain ability.

This result came from scientists research in the USA. Researchers at National Institute for Aging, as quoted by Times Health, mentioned that healthy diet can protect brain and cardiovascular system.

"We found that limited energy in diet, especially if it is done in regular time, can activate cellular response line in neuron," Professor Mattson, one of the scientists said.

The research was done to two groups of white mice. Where in one experiment set, a group of mice was only given food in certain time, while the other group was given food continually.

From the research, it was found that mice that were given food regularly more sensitive to insulin, which is really needed by brain system work. Then, brains from the two groups were examined and the researchers said that limited calorie diet seemed increases brain synapses function and also promote new cells generation and makes them durable to stress.
