You are what you eat may not be entirely accurate, but it is worth talking about. Your brain depends on good quality fuel. If you try to drive after putting water in the gas tank of your car, you would never get out of the driveway. While your body and brain are somewhat more forgiving, depriving your body of good fuel will severely hinder your thinking and learning.
All foods are divided in to three basic nutrients: carbohydrates, fats, proteins. While some weight loss plans suggest that your diet should consist of just one nutrient or another, a healthy diet includes a balance of all three nutrients. Each plays a role in promoting the healthy function of your body’s systems and organs. While any all or nothing plan may result in weight loss, your body and brain prefers balance.
After a good night’s sleep, your busy brain is ready for more fuel. It has been running hard all night and requires more glucose. Your brain wakes up ready for breakfast. Your brain’s very real need for fuel is why breakfast is considered one of the most important meals of your day. By breaking your brain out of its slumbering state, the morning fuel you provide prepares your brain to learn throughout the day.Not eating a good breakfast has been linked to lower achievement scores, lowers scores on problem solving tasks, and increased illness. Poor nutrition has a profound effect on learning.
