Focusing on a Brain-Healthy Diet over Just Supplementation

 

As the control center of your body and central nervous system, the brain is a key player in all critical body functions. It controls your breathing and heartbeat, movement and motor function, and ability to understand language and communicate effectively.

The brain is home to 100 billion neurons and 40,000 connecting synapses, constantly transmitting information and firing neural signals to carry out essential functions to keep you alive and humming. These signals result in the coordination of new thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and sensations. As the brain is constantly at work – whether in production mode during the day or self-cleaning mode at night – it consumes up to 20% of the body’s daily energy. 

The brain requires food as both medicine and fuel to keep it – and the body – running smoothly. When you fuel your brain properly, your mind is sharp and you are able to focus on detailed tasks, express creativity, and even improve your memory.

Whole fruits and vegetables, legumes, and healthy fats, including those from fish, nuts, and seeds, are some of the key food groups known to boost your brain function in the long term. These foods contain vitamins and minerals that contribute to sharper memory, cognitive function, alertness, and creativity.  Other than foods, there are some wellness supplements too. Smoking Vitamins also gives the same benefits like the vitamin enriched foods. Smoking B12 is good for brain health and also to get rid of B12 deficiency.

Whether from your diet or supplementation, omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, E vitamins, and antioxidants are all vital for healthy brain function. They can even reverse the inflammatory effects that sugar, processed foods, and saturated fats cause in the brain. Inflammatory foods cause oxidative stress, killing neurons, weakening your memory, and impacting your ability to learn and process thoughts and ideas properly.
