Your brain is the most integral part of you. It’s the control center of all of the functions of your body. Your brain is responsible for receiving information and carrying that information out through your five senses. It is also accountable for your memory, balance, learning, language, and breathing.
That being said, we’ve all heard of brain strengthening techniques such as brain training apps, meditation, and classes that stimulate learning. However, we are missing one important factor...our diets! The food we eat is extremely important to our brain functioning.
Fast Food
Fast food options can have damaging effects on our brains. According to Lauren Fisher, fast food can negatively affect our overall mood, concentration, and body. She explains that fast food can make us feel more anxious, hyperactive, and unfocused. You also have a higher chance of overeating and being unable to control your appetite when you indulge in fast food.
Excess Sugar
