The human brain is the most marvellous, complicated structure known
in the universe. So, treat it with respect and power it with the best possible
fuel. Eating processed foods that contain sugar and trans fats can leave you
feeling mentally foggy, anxious, and depressed.
But certain foods particularly high in the nutrients needed to
create, protect, and repair cells will help keep your brain humming along
smoothly. Every bite of food you eat is a choice that either depletes or
nourishes your brain.
The wrong foods — like sugar and trans fats — can leave you
feeling mentally foggy, anxious, and depressed, while the right foods help make
you mentally sharp, positive, and productive.
Certain foods are particularly high in the nutrients needed to
create, protect, and repair brain cells.
They also supply the building blocks of neurotransmitters — brain
chemicals that control how well you learn and remember, how happy and motivated
you are, and how well you can relax and enjoy life.
Foods that are rich in essential brain nutrients will protect
against a variety of mental disorders now and degenerative brain diseases in
years to come.
Eating these "brain foods" can keep you mentally sharp,
positive, and productive.
Other foods supply the building blocks of neurotransmitters --
brain chemicals that control how well you learn and remember, how happy and
motivated you are, and how well you can relax and enjoy life.

shopping list:
· avocados

of all kinds
