  Micronutrients For Good Brain Health: As we discussed in the last blog  about brain food. so in this blog, I am going to tell you about the micronutrients that are very essential for brain development and their full optimal working.  Individuals who have nutrition-deficient diets take supplements to make up for the gap that results when not enough fruits, vegetables, and grains are consumed. Before going on a supplement program, you must speak to your physician and nutritionist so that a thorough assessment can be made of your health.  B vitamins :  we will begin with B vitamins.

The reason is that hydrochloric acid-the substance that breaks down B12 in the digestive system-declines with age.  B6 helps convert stored blood sugar into glucose, and we have already explained earlier that gl

The link between food and brain: You may not see the direct link between diet and brain health since what we put in our mouths goes downstream and not upstream. But what we eat has a lot to do with how healthy our brain is. Granted, food does not travel up to the brain and its nerve cells, but blood carries nutrients and oxygen, and if that blood is trained, then how can it be effective carries nutrients and oxygen, and if that blood is trained, then how can it be an effective carrier of good vitamins and minerals? The link between diet and brain health can be summarized in this continuum: Bad food = Unhealthy and sluggish bodies = Disorders + diseases = slower brains  "What we ingest is also fundamental to how we think and feel", says Dr. John Ratey . "The brain is an incredibly active furnace, consuming 25% of the glucose and oxygen we take in. It burns glucose as its sole fuel, and yet it has no storage site for it. The brain also needs a range of other nutrients, eve
