As mentioned, the brain is composed of fat.  In face, fat cells provide the protective envelope for the nerves that connect to your brain.  Studies have shown that adopting a diet that is zero in fat can be harmful for your brain in the long run; totally avoiding fat can even lead to the malfunction of the entire nervous system to which your brain belongs.

 

This may sound sacrilegious for many weight watchers.  Well, it might be important to note that eating fat is not responsible for making a person fat; rather carbohydrates are the ones that turn your abs into flab!  Besides, when including fat in your diet, always choose the good fats; those that include monounsaturated fats from nuts and olive oil and also polyunsaturated fat from fish oils.

 

 

 

Proteins provide the groundwork for all the tissues in the body.  They are the primary source for beneficial amino acids.  As for the brain, proteins play important roles in the proper functioning of the neurons and their electrical characteristics.

 

Also include in your diet ample amounts of antioxidants such as selenium, carotenids, and vitamins E and C.  You do not have to fill your refrigerator and shop for all the foodstuff that is good for your brain.  There are products that can help you attain improved mental health, just like Neurovar.  For more information about a healthier brain, you can visit www.
