Correct answers: 2 and 3.
- Nutrients are needed to make chemical messengers in the brain — true. Amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals are precursors and cofactors for neurotransmitter synthesis and brain function.
- Avoiding highly processed foods prevents inflammation in the brain — true in principle. Diets high in ultra-processed foods are linked to systemic and brain inflammation, so minimizing them lowers that risk.
The other statements are incorrect (overeating doesn’t cause concussion; fatty fish are anti‑inflammatory; the vegetable statement is false/misleading).
