Two of the most important acids in your brain are omega 3 & 6. They are essential fats, and are linked to preventing degenerative brain diseases. Amino acids control how we behave. The compounds in food are able to manipulate the brain and your mood. Micronutrients are just as important. They help your brain work well for a longer time. Most of the energy we have comes from carbohydrates, which is digested, and turned into glucose. A change in mental function is a signal of nutrition deficiency. Carbs come in three forms; starch, sugar, and fibre. If you eat a high glycemic food, like white bread, gives you a high amount of blood sugar. When the blood sugar lowers, so doesn’t our attention span and mood. If you have oats, grains, and legumes, then you have a higher attention span, because they release the glucose slowly. Having diet high in nutrients is necessary for increasing brain power. ]]> 2018-05-01 22:16:13 UTC https://padlet.com/morts/9STV_Sci/wish/257053656 colbertm1 https://padlet.com/morts/9STV_Sci/wish/257058818 junk food is one of the leading causes of obesity and can increase your risk of developing diabetes. New research now suggests junk food can negatively affect your memory. Researchers have discovered high levels of insulin caused by consuming too much junk food, or a bad diet, may affect the brain

Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas that allows your body to use sugar (glucose) from carbohydrates in the food that you eat for energy or to store glucose for future use. Insulin helps keeps your blood sugar level from getting too high (hyperglycemia) or too low (hypoglycemia)

proteins and amino acids the building block nutrients of growth and development , manipulate how we feel and behave. amino acid carry the signals between neurons affecting things like mood, sleep and weight

Inflammatory diet patterns that are high in sugar, refined carbs, unhealthy fats and processed foods can contribute to impaired memory and learning, as well as increase your risk of diseases such as Alzheimer's and dementia. Several other substances in food are dangerous for your brain too.

* Omega 3 and 6 are good fats for your brain

* Long term consumption for saturated and trans fats may comprimise brain Heath

*  Protens and omeno acids are the building block nutrients of growth and development, they minuplate how we feel and how we behave

* Omeno acids contain the precursors to neurotransmitters that carry signals between neurons affecting things such as mode, sleep, atentiveness, and weight

* The complex cobanations of compounds in food stimulate brain cells to relieve mode altering norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin 

* Omeno acids have to compete because there is limitated access, a diet with a range of food helps maintain a balanced combination of brain messengers and keeps your mood from being thrown in one direction

* Our brains befit from a steady supply for micronutrients 

* Antioxtances in fruit and veggies help to fight off freer articles that destroy brain cells enabling your brain to work for a longer period of time


* Vitimens b6, b12 and folic acid help prevent brain despise and mental decline

* Trace amounts of the minrols such as copper, zinc and soduim are fundamental to brain Heath ]]> 2018-05-01 22:50:55 UTC https://padlet.com/morts/9STV_Sci/wish/257058912 https://padlet.com/morts/9STV_Sci/wish/257152772 * Things high in sugars, carbohydrates and fats can help maintain healthy learning and a stronger lasting memory. 

* If you have high sugars, refined carbs, unhealthy fats and processed food the risk of getting a disease will be very high. 

* Our brain benefits from a steady supply of micronutrients. 

* Neutransmitters are the chemical signals between neurons and affecting things like mood sleep and an increase in weight. 

* Antioxidants in fruits and vegetables strengthen the brain. ]]> 2018-05-02 08:43:49 UTC https://padlet.com/morts/9STV_Sci/wish/257152772 kettishjt https://padlet.com/morts/9STV_Sci/wish/257519037 There are 6 fats in your brain and the best are omegas three and six. Eating omega rich foods like nuts seeds and fatty fish are crucial to cell membranes. Proteins and ameno acids are building blocks nuitrients of growth and development and manipulte how we feel and act. Having an even split of foods will maintain a balanced combination of brain messengers. Benefit from a steady supply of micronutrients. The brain makes 2% body weight but uses 20% of our energy resource usage. Carbohydrates come as starch sugar and fibre. White bread causes us to lose attention span in the long run where as grains have a steadier level of attention. ]]> 2018-05-03 04:50:30 UTC https://padlet.com/morts/9STV_Sci/wish/257519037 https://padlet.com/morts/9STV_Sci/wish/257583800 Fats = Lipids

you have six fats in your brain, the best are omega 3 & 6.

eating omega rich foods like nuts seeds and fatty fish is crucial to the maintenance of cell membrane.

long term consumption of other fats (Trans & Saturated) can compromise brain health.

ameno acids and proteins are the building blocks nutrients of growth and development and they can affect how we feel and behave.

neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers that carry signals between neurons which can affect things like our mood sleep and weight.

a diet with a range of different foods will maintain a balanced combination of brain messengers.

our brain benefits from a steady supply of micronutrients.

the brain makes up 2% of our body fat bus uses up 20% of our energy resources
