Smart People Diets
What you eat can have a large impact on how your mind operates. After all, the brain accounts for 20% of your body's total energy consumption. The brain needs a steady supply of glucose throughout the day to keep in tip-top working order, so be sure to not skip any meals, especially breakfast.
Salads contain antioxidants such as beta-carotene and vitamins C [ For more on 'C' go here: http://www.braingle.com/mind/712.html ] and E [ For more on 'E' go here: http://www.braingle.com/mind/673.html ], which help your brain stay healthy.
Yogurt contains the amino acid tyrosine, which is needed for some essential brain chemistry.
Fish contains Omega-3 fatty acids, which help prevent dementia and keep your brain working in tip-top shape.
Curry contains a spice called turmeric which can help prevent Alzheimer's Disease [ For more on 'Alzheimer's Disease' go here: http://www.braingle.com/mind/361.html ].
Try to avoid junk food high in sugar and fat. There have been some studies that imply a connection between junk food and mental disorders such as dyslexia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and autism.
