Food and the brain. How does nutrition
affect intelligence?

Have you ever wondered what effect nutrition has on your
intelligence?

We all know that human development is influenced not only by
heredity, but also by ecology, his lifestyle - nutrition, etc.
And brain development is no exception, although various kinds
of mental exercises that train memory are more important, such
as mathematics or essay writing service.

According to recent studies, it has become clear that children
whose parents take care of their health, including monitoring
their diet, have a higher intelligence level than those who prefer
fast carbohydrates.

But this applies not only to children. An experiment was
conducted where a group of elderly people was added to their
food lecithin, which is often in short supply for many. After
several months of observation, it turned out that their brains
were “younger” by an average of 12 years.

Also, for the normal functioning of the brain, and the body as a
whole, the correct omega-3-6 fats (we have already mentioned
them in the previous satyas) are very important - PUFAs, which
are found in nuts, oils, etc.

Iodine is no less important for the normal functioning of the
brain, especially in childhood and adolescence.

As many people know, it is iodine deficiency that leads to
thyroid diseases and negatively affects the activity of the
nervous system.

That is why it is so necessary to provide the body with all
nutrients and try to balance your nutrition as much as possible,
and especially the nutrition of the child.

Now there is even a new direction that studies the effect of food
on the brain and its capabilities - neuropsychonutriciology.

Have you heard of her? What about your nutritional status?
