Our memory, learning, and attention processes are all coordinated by the brain. This processing machine is responsible for consuming over 20% of our body’s energy, so in order to keep it running, it must be well-fueled. And how do we energize our mind? Through rest and also through nutrition. Now, we will talk about the latter!
A healthy diet is as important for the body as it is for the mind! Studies indicate that a balanced diet brings benefits to various mental processes, such as attention, memory, and even sleep.
In the video below, which provides information on medicine and science for a healthier, more balanced, and happier life, we see how nutrition can influence our memory, along with the best foods for it.
In addition to making good food choices, how we prepare the moment to eat them is also very important! Have you ever heard of slow food?
This philosophy focuses on rediscovering the pleasure of eating and respecting your culinary heritage, valuing traditional meals over fast food. It involves everything from carefully selecting and preparing food to mindful attention and the time dedicated to eating them.
Even with a busy schedule, choose one or several meals a week to enjoy slowly, without distractions (such as TV or phones), giving your full attention to the food.
