Does it matter what you feed your brain?\u00a0 Yes!<\/p>\n
Studies show that sugar will slow your brain down and hinder its functions.\u00a0 In other words, sugar can make you stupid.\u00a0 Scary, huh?<\/p>\n
So, if you eat a low glycemic diet and don\u2019t make your pancreas keep pumping out the whopping loads of insulin, your brain will be sharper and function better.\u00a0 That\u2019s important for those of us who want our brains to keep going as long as our bodies do.\u00a0 It\u2019s also important for younger folks.\u00a0 Are your kids or grandkids struggling in school?\u00a0 Maybe you need to get rid of the sugary cereal and toaster pastries and fix them some eggs and fruit for breakfast.<\/p>\n
The \u201chealthy whole grain\u201d labels on sugary cereals particularly annoy me!\u00a0 Grains cause a big insulin response — especially if they are covered with sugar.\u00a0 We would do better avoiding both of these, which certainly aren\u2019t healthy, for our bodies or our brains.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll look in upcoming posts at what foods will make our brains sharper.<\/p>\n
