Episode 134: Brainfood – Eat Your Way to Smarter: Foods that Measurably Boost Brain Performance and Protect Against Cell Breakdown
health nerds – The Podcast About Living Naturally
Certain foods can measurably and significantly boost the performance of our brain. This means more synaptic connections, increased potential, and a higher IQ. There are also foods that protect our brain: from cell degradation, decay, and diseases like Alzheimer’s or dementia.
“Our brain is probably the most complex structure in the known universe,” says Matthias Baum from the HEALTH NERDS science team. “It makes up only about one-fiftieth of our body weight, yet it uses one-fifth of our energy”—and the cognitive performance of our brain is enormous.
Which foods have a positive effect on our super organ? How much performance do we actually tap into, and what is the potential of our brain? Brain food – eat yourself smarter!
