I was reading an article about “Brain Food” recently. It turns out that your brain needs pretty much what the rest of your body needs – a well balanced diet. Big surprise, huh?
Simply put, for complex carbohydrates in your diet, you should be eating
- whole grains,
- fruits, and
- vegetables.
For protein, You should be eating
- fish,
- poultry,
- lean meats,
- legumes, plus
- nuts and seeds.
And for good fats needed in your diet, you should be eating
- fish oil,
- olive oil,
- avocados,
- almonds,
- walnuts and
- ground flaxseed.
Stay tuned and tomorrow I’ll give you the specific “whys” you should eat these things, besides the obvious all-around good nutrition.
