    Diet is indeed related to intelligence. The brain's thinking needs a continuous and stable energy supply, which requires a stable blood sugar level; the signal transmission between nerve cells in the brain requires the help of neurotransmitters, and the production of neurotransmitters requires related amino acids and multiple B groups. Vitamins are involved in the synthesis work; the oxygen supply of brain nerve cells requires good blood circulation; brain cells contain a large amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids such as DHA, which requires the supply of fatty acids in the diet.
