Foods and Drinks That Are Damaging Your Brain

“You are what you eat” has never been more accurate. Your diet has many invisible effects such as thyroid problems, chronic heart conditions, diminished athletic abilities and persistent fatigue.

Brainpower is not inherited or given; it’s achieved at the supermarket and in your kitchen. Stay away from unhealthy foods, some of which actually include tuna as far as the brain is concerned, that slow cognitive function.

Nourish arguably the most important organ in the body for a longer, successful and more productive life the right way. Other bonuses include more energy, stable blood sugar levels, stronger bones, and lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease.
