Does what you eat influence how you think? Absolutely! A diet heavy in simple carbs – sweets including sodas, cookies, candy – and saturated fats, which include processed meats, French fries and ice cream, will negatively impact brain function – and hence decision-making skills. Foods high in protein and fiber, eaten with both simple and complex carbs is optimum balance for brain function and will enhance all aspects of life. “You are what you eat” is certainly an adage to live by, and something that will pay dividends across the vast spectrum of the average human lifespan. There are lots of good cookbooks out there. Get familiar with the kitchen and enhance your life!
