Key points to remember when choosing foods to feed our brains:
-good fats, in the form of omega-3 fatty acids, create and build healthy cells in our brain;
-amino acids from proteins create the neurotransmitters so our brain can receive valuable info from other parts of our body;
-carbohydrates, broken down into glucose, provide the fuel to feed our brain; and
-micronutrients, in the form of antioxidants, help to defend our brain from damage and potential dysfunction.
