    "Brain consumes 20% of the energy from your body"

    Maybe that’s why it’s better to run the fuel on ketone bodies, being 2x more energy dense per unit of oxygen.

    High digestible fiber also gets fermented into butyric acid, a highly energy dense end produce of cologne bacteria that the brain readily uses for energy.

    This is exactly why I am giving up πŸ†™ ice cream and all other processed foods such as fast food. Those types of foods literally shorten your life and make your final years quite miserable πŸ˜– and in pain.

    healthy foods = healthy brain

  45. maybememory1 on October 27, 2021 at 11:22 am

    Very interesting! I’ve found that, since my concussion last year, if I eat sugar, dairy or something junky, I’m basically useless the rest of the day. Most people don’t think about how the food they eat directly affects their body

    fatty fish isn’t always necessary for Omega intake. Fishes eat the plants in the water, that’s what the product I take use, it’s vegan and has multiple Omegas.
