Brain, nervous system and feeding <\/strong>
\nThe brain and the nervous system consist of an unique network of cells called neurons. Each neuron can form tens of thousands of connections with other neurons. This creates a vast network with rich information of knowledge and feelings. When learning new things new connections are built and they alter the brain network. Just as hormones carry messages in the body, chemicals (neurotransmitters) carry messages in the brain. Brain and neurotransmitters are formed from nutrients. So, what you eat and drink affects the functioning of the brain.<\/p>\n

Depletion of the brain <\/strong>
\nAntinutrients (caffeine, cigarettes, sugar, refined foods) deplete brain function. Caffeine reduces the concentration and compromises the ability to remember. Excessive sugar and refined foods consumption reduces intellect, causes aggression, anxiety, hyperactivity and \/ or exhaustion. Smoking and inhalation of cigarette smoke accumulates in the brain and impairs mental health. Stress completely confuses brain functions.<\/p>\n

Nutrients control the brain <\/strong>
\nNeurotransmitters are composed of proteins. To stay healthy, motivated and happy take more proteins. But without vitamins and minerals we can not convert protein or fat neurotransmitters in brain cells. Optimal intake of vitamins and minerals accelerates thinking, enhances concentration and even increases IQ. Fish oils for a healthy and active mind Fish oils are extremely beneficial for the brain, not only because of the high content of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, but also because they contain phospholipids. Phosphatidylcholine is the most important phospholipid as brain supplies with nutrients and helps in the formation of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is directly related to memory. Shortage of this neurotransmitter in addition to being responsible for poor memory, causes drowsiness, dry mouth, decreases dreaming and even dementia. The best additional source of phosphatidylcholine is the nutrient lecithin.<\/p>\n
