Getting More Brain Power with Food
Your brain needs 20% of all the things you eat to work properly. What you eat has a direct influence on your brain performance.
You are what you eat. You are already tired of hearing this sentence over and over again.
Did you know that your brain uses more energy, blood, oxygen and water than all the other organs in your body? If you put yourself under a full body scan you will that your brain looks like a nuclear energy power plant compared to the rest of the body that looks like a ghost town in terms of energy!
It’s very important to keep track of all you eat. Bruce Lee had it’s own book of the best foods and nutrients to his muscles, you should write one for you too.
This list shows you some bad things to feed your brain with:
- Alcohol
- Artificial food colorings
- Artificial sweeteners
- Colas
- Corn syrup
- Frostings
- High-sugar drinks
- Hydrogenated fats
- Junk sugars
- Nicotine
- Overeating
- White bread
And this list shows some good things to ingest:
- Avocados
- Bananas
- Beef, lean
- Brewer’s yeast
- Broccoli
- Brown rice
- Brussels sprouts
- Cantaloupe
- Cheese
- Chicken
- Collard greens
- Eggs
- Flaxseed oil
- Legumes
- Milk
- Oatmeal
- Oranges
- Peanut butter
- Peas
- Potatoes
- Romaine lettuce
- Salmon
- Soybeans
- Spinach
- Tuna
- Turkey
- Wheat germ
- Yogurt
I got this from a website, but you can get this and much more from any website.
since it’s impossible for your brain to keep track in memory of all the things you eat, you might want to start a document where you will write all the things you already ate that week, and then you might want to start another week with something different.
As long as you do not repeat the same food over and over again and you avoid ingesting some things from the bad list, you are on your way to live a better life.
