To strengthen the nervous system, experts advise eating liver and fish. As neurologist Almira Gimranova told Lente.ru, the nervous system needs to be supported and strengthened so that other body systems work properly. This can also be done with food.
Thus, B vitamins are involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters – substances involved in the transmission of signals between nerve cells. In addition, they help convert food into energy for the brain and nervous system, maintain hormonal balance and protect against stress, the neurologist explained. B vitamins are found in meat, liver, fish, eggs, dairy products, grains, nuts, and green vegetables.
Vitamin C, according to the expert, promotes the production of collagen, which strengthens the walls of blood vessels and sheaths of nerve cells. Vitamin C is found in citrus fruits, kiwi, black currants, peppers, cabbage and greens.
According to the neurologist, vitamin E has antioxidant properties and promotes the regeneration of nerve cells. In addition, it improves blood circulation to the brain and relieves fatigue. It is found in vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, cereals, green vegetables.
Magnesium regulates the functioning of the neuromuscular system, is involved in the transmission of nerve impulses and promotes muscle relaxation, the doctor says. With its deficiency, irritability, insomnia, headaches and convulsions can occur. Magnesium is found in chocolate (especially carob), bananas, beans, peas, soy products, and greens.
Calcium is essential for muscle and nerve function and bone maintenance. It is involved in the processes of excitation and inhibition in the nervous system and helps to maintain emotional balance. This trace element is found in dairy products (especially hard cheeses), fish (especially sardines), almonds and seeds.
Finally, iodine is needed for the synthesis of thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolism and the functioning of the nervous system. With its deficiency, hypothyroidism can develop, in which mental and physical activity decreases, apathy, drowsiness and depression appear. The element is found in seafood (especially seaweed), iodized salt and dairy products.
