08.01.2022 #foodandmood #naturalfood #eathealthy #minjums Think about it. Your brain is always on", even while you’re asleep. This means your brain requires a constant supply of fuel. That fuel comes from the foods you eat, and what’s in that fuel makes all the difference. What you eat directly affects the structure and function of your brain and, ultimately, your mood. Like an expensive car, your brain functions best when it gets only premium fuel. Eating high-quality foods that con...tain lots of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants nourishes the brain and protects it from oxidative stress. Unfortunately, just like an expensive car, your brain can be damaged if you ingest anything other than premium fuel. If substances from low-premium fuel (such as what you get from processed or refined foods) get to the brain, it has little ability to get rid of them. Diets high in refined sugars, for example, are harmful to the brain. Multiple studies have found a correlation between a diet high in refined sugars and impaired brain function and even a worsening of symptoms of mood disorders, such as depression. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps regulate sleep and appetite, mediate moods, and inhibit pain. Since about 95% of your serotonin is produced in your gastrointestinal tract, and your gastrointestinal tract is lined with a hundred million nerve cells, or neurons, it makes sense that the inner workings of your digestive system don’t just help you digest food, but also guide your emotions. MINJUMS spreads are delicious and they also are premium fuel as they are made just with natural ingredients, free of refined sugars, the main ingredient is lentils a legume source of a plant-based protein, rich in fibre, source of B vitamins, iron, magnesium, potassium and zinc.
