Healthy Food: for the Brain & Body

The Swazi Observer: "In most developed countries, alcoholism is often responsible for nutritional deficiencies that affect mental functioning. Diseases can also cause nutritional deficiencies by affecting absorption of nutrients into the body or increasing nutritional requirements. Poverty, ignorance and junk foods contribute to nutritional deficiencies. Your brain likes to eat. And it likes powerful fuel: quality fats, antioxidants, and small, steady amounts of the best carbohydrates.

Here is a list of foods that supercharge your brain: Remember to consult your food for blood type list.
1. Avocado: Start each day with a mix of high-quality protein and beneficial fats to build the foundation for an energised day. Avocado with scrambled eggs provides both, and the monounsaturated fat helps blood circulate better, which is essential for optimal brain function.
2. Blueberries: These delicious berries are one of the best foods for you, period, but they’re very good for your brain as well. Since they’re high in fibre and low on the glycemic index, they are safe for diabetics and they do not spike blood sugar. They are possibly the best brain food on earth: they have been linked to reduce risk for Alzheimer’s, shown to improve learning ability and motor skills in rats, and they are one of the most powerful anti-stress foods you can eat. Avoid: dried, sweetened blueberries."
