It is the
food which you furnish to your mind that determines the whole character of your
life. - Emmet Fox
The food
that enters the mind must be watched as closely as the food that enters the
body. - Patrick Buchanan (1938 - ?) US politician
Over the last couple of weeks, Terri’s Tuesday Tip has
discussed a variety of different ways to help improve our memory. Today, we talk about how foods can affect our
minds and memory.
In June, a study was released by Oregon State University
showing that high-sugar, high-fat diets cause the brain to process slower and delay the brain processing functions when switching between
different concepts. Furthermore,
the study showed that poor diet had a direct correlation to understanding new
concepts and adapting to new experiences.
Scientist are not sure exactly why this occurs, but they recommend a
diet low in fat and carbohydrates and bring back “good fats” to our diets.
I am an example of this.
If I do not eat a healthy diet, I have issues sleeping and have a hard
time concentrating at work. I definitely
splurge occasionally, but I try to stick to a healthy diet.
It is important that each of us take care of our bodies and
minds so that we can accomplish our purpose and mission on this earth.
