Why Dining Out At A Kosher Restaurant Is Good For The Brain

Tavlin, Cafe Rothschild, and Panda Veggie Bar are just a few of the best kosher restaurants and eateries where travellers can find the tastiest kosher dishes in Melbourne. Whether you are particularly interested in the incredibly fresh Mediterranean cuisine or you are looking forward to experiencing some out-of-this-world hummus or falafel dishes, you should be able to find plenty of spots ready to serve you. Besides having to follow some strict preparation or portion size requirements, kosher menus are also known as some of the healthiest foods for the brain.

Let’s find out more about what makes certain kosher foods the healthiest and most suitable choices for people looking to keep their brain healthy while improving their brain activity.

Beans and Legumes Can Boost Your Brain Functioning

Legumes and beans such as chickpeas, butter beans, red kidney beans, lentils, soybeans, black-eyed beans, or lupins are excellent kosher choices that can fill you up nicely while improving the way your brain works. Whether you eat them in the form of hummus, roasted chickpeas, or lentil soup, you will enjoy their high amounts of choline, a B vitamin useful for stimulating and improving the activity of the brain neurotransmitters that are responsible for beefing up the way the human brain works. Since legumes and beans come in a wide array of sizes, shapes, and colours, you can cook them in a number of ways, including dried, cookies, in the form of frozen whole beans and legumes, split or as flour.

Berries Can Flush the Toxins in the Brain

Besides the rest of the amazing health benefits they bring upon us, berries also appear to play a huge role in the protection of the glial cells inside the brain. According to important studies regarding Alzheimer’s disease, glial cells are responsible for thoroughly cleaning the brain from all toxin build-up that seems to have a huge contribution in triggering Alzheimer’s disease. If you love blueberries, in particular, you should be glad to know that blueberries can improve the way you gamble, besides giving your immunity a boost and cutting the risk of heart diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Eating just a small bowl of blueberries every time can help you strengthen your metabolism and steer clear from a variety of metabolic syndromes and deficiencies, so it is worth looking for some kosher blueberry muffins and have them for dessert next time you are in Melbourne or Sydney and you are also thinking about checking out a few of the land gambling venues that these cities are popular for.

Kosher Fatty Fish Can Help Improve Your Memory

Whether it’s tuna, salmon, mackerel, or cod, make sure you eat at least two servings of healthy fatty fish a week to feed your brain with the omega 3 fatty acids it needs to diminish inflammation. According to a study completed by the guys at UCLA, there seems to be a link between a low omega-3 fatty acid level and poor memory performances. Plus, eating too little omega-3 fatty acids could also lead to brain shrinkage issues, so make sure you include these kosher-approved fish in your diet, whether at home or when eating out in a kosher restaurant in Australia.

Turmeric Can Reduce Inflammation in the Brain

When was the last time when you had a flavoured turmeric roast chicken from a dish or some tasty turmeric spiced eggplant served with Israeli Couscous? Or maybe you prefer some turmeric roasted sweet potatoes served with smoked tahini! Either way, enjoy this spice more often, as it has been proven to do so much more than simply add some extra pizzazz to any meal. Turmeric seems to be rich in compounds that can help reduce the inflammation in the brain by breaking down the plaque in the brain, while also improving our memory and overall mood, especially in seniors. All you need is a double dose of curcumin, which is found in turmeric, to successfully improve the functions in your memory.

Eggs Can Improve the Cognitive Functions

How about a tasty kosher Israeli shakshuka made from the simplest and healthiest ingredients such as eggs, tomatoes, onions, and plenty of spices? This recipe will not only bring in the precious protein your body needs, but also an impressively large number of other helpful nutrients that can significantly improve your cognitive functions due to the lutein and zeaxanthin found in the kosher eggs.

Finally, kosher broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy are just a few important cruciferous vegetables that are incredibly rich in carotenoids and folate that can reduce the amount of amino acid tied to impairments in our cognitive functions. Make sure you also introduce them to your regular daily diet for top results!
